What this shows — how Quinn Wolcott called the 151 pitches that were taken (no swing), graded against the tracked rulebook strike zone. He got 140 right. Below, only his misses are plotted, alongside every pitch the ABS (Automated Ball-Strike System) reviewed on a challenge.

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

4 pitches went to the robots · 2 overturned (ump overruled) · 2 upheld (ump confirmed). This is Hawkeye ground truth, no model involved.

  1. 1Ryan Jeffers — ump said strike, robot ruled ball: overturned.
  2. 2Steven Kwan — ump said strike, robot ruled strike: upheld.
  3. 3Ryan Jeffers — ump said ball, robot ruled ball: upheld.
  4. 4Ryan Jeffers — ump said strike, robot ruled ball: overturned.

Our tracked-rulebook zone matched the ABS ruling on 2 of 4 — a zone-definition gap (ABS grades a standardized, height-based zone), not our error.
