Home plate: Mark Wegner
“Solid and unspectacular — exactly what the job asks.”
What this shows — how Mark Wegner called the 171 pitches that were taken (no swing), graded against the tracked rulebook strike zone. He got 158 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▲1 · 2-1 strike called ball
James Wood vs Aaron Ashby - 2-0.19▼5 · 2-0 ball called strike
William Contreras vs Jake Irvin - 3-0.19▲8 · 2-0 ball called strike
Brady House vs Abner Uribe
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
5 pitches went to the robots · 4 overturned (ump overruled) · 1 upheld (ump confirmed). This is the ABS system’s own measurement — Hawk-Eye optical ball-tracking, not our model.

- 3William Contreras — ump said ball, robot ruled strike: overturned.

Our tracked-rulebook zone matched the ABS ruling on 5 of 5 — a zone-definition gap (ABS grades a standardized, height-based zone), not our error.
