PIT @ NYM
Home plate: Quinn Wolcott
“The kind of night where the umpire is the least of the story.”
What this shows — how Quinn Wolcott called the 186 pitches that were taken (no swing), graded against the tracked rulebook strike zone. He got 179 right. Below, only his misses are plotted, alongside every pitch the ABS (Automated Ball-Strike System) reviewed on a challenge.
The zone, as he called it
The calls that moved the game
- 1-0.20▲7 · 2-1 ball called strike
Jared Triolo vs Luke Weaver - 2+0.13▼3 · 1-0 strike called ball
Francisco Lindor vs Mitch Keller - 3-0.13▼10 · 1-0 ball called strike
Bo Bichette vs Hunter Barco
Run impact from the count run-value table: a missed strike three is worth far more than one on 3-0.
ABS — the Automated Ball-Strike System
1 pitch went to the robots · 0 overturned (ump overruled) · 1 upheld (ump confirmed). This is the ABS system’s own measurement — Hawk-Eye optical ball-tracking, not our model.
- 1Joey Bart — ump said ball, robot ruled ball: upheld.
Our tracked-rulebook zone matched the ABS ruling on 1 of 1 — a zone-definition gap (ABS grades a standardized, height-based zone), not our error.
