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

6 pitches went to the robots · 1 overturned (ump overruled) · 5 upheld (ump confirmed). This is Hawkeye ground truth, no model involved.

  1. 1Marcell Ozuna — ump said strike, robot ruled strike: upheld.
  2. 2Hunter Feduccia — ump said strike, robot ruled ball: overturned.
  3. 3Taylor Walls — ump said strike, robot ruled strike: upheld.
  4. 4Jake Fraley — ump said strike, robot ruled strike: upheld.
  5. 5Gregory Soto — ump said ball, robot ruled ball: upheld.
  6. 6Marcell Ozuna — ump said strike, robot ruled strike: upheld.

Our tracked-rulebook zone matched the ABS ruling on 5 of 6 — a zone-definition gap (ABS grades a standardized, height-based zone), not our error.
