“Nothing that'll trend, and on this beat that's a compliment.”
What this shows — how Jim Wolf called the 159 pitches that were taken (no swing), graded against the tracked rulebook strike zone. He got 150 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+0.69▼5 · 3-2 strike called ball
Pete Crow-Armstrong vs Miles Mikolas - 2+0.39▼4 · 2-2 strike called ball
Matt Shaw vs Miles Mikolas - 3-0.30▼6 · 3-1 ball called strike
Carson Kelly vs Ken Waldichuk
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
3 pitches went to the robots · 3 overturned (ump overruled) · 0 upheld (ump confirmed). This is the ABS system’s own measurement — Hawk-Eye optical ball-tracking, not our model.
- 1Drew Millas — ump said ball, robot ruled strike: overturned.
- 2Matt Shaw — ump said strike, robot ruled ball: overturned.
- 3Alex Bregman — ump said strike, robot ruled ball: overturned.
Our tracked-rulebook zone matched the ABS ruling on 3 of 3 — a zone-definition gap (ABS grades a standardized, height-based zone), not our error.
