What this shows — how Quinn Wolcott called the 149 pitches that were taken (no swing), graded against the tracked rulebook strike zone. He got 136 right. Below, only his misses are plotted, alongside every pitch the ABS (Automated Ball-Strike System) reviewed on a challenge.

ABS — the Automated Ball-Strike System

6 pitches went to the robots · 3 overturned (ump overruled) · 3 upheld (ump confirmed). This is Hawkeye ground truth, no model involved.

  1. 1George Valera — ump said strike, robot ruled strike: upheld.
  2. 2Chase DeLauter — ump said ball, robot ruled strike: overturned.
  3. 3Joey Cantillo — ump said strike, robot ruled ball: overturned.
  4. 4Jesús Sánchez — ump said strike, robot ruled strike: upheld.
  5. 5Tyler Heineman — ump said strike, robot ruled ball: overturned.
  6. 6Tyler Heineman — ump said ball, robot ruled ball: upheld.

Our tracked-rulebook zone matched the ABS ruling on 4 of 6 — a zone-definition gap (ABS grades a standardized, height-based zone), not our error.
