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 · 1 overturned (ump overruled) · 3 upheld (ump confirmed). This is the ABS system’s own measurement — Hawk-Eye optical ball-tracking, not our model.
- 1Vladimir Guerrero Jr. — ump said strike, robot ruled ball: overturned.
- 2Jonathan Aranda — ump said strike, robot ruled strike: upheld.
- 3Hunter Feduccia — ump said ball, robot ruled ball: upheld.
- 4Myles Straw — ump said strike, robot ruled strike: upheld.
Our tracked-rulebook zone matched the ABS ruling on 3 of 4 — a zone-definition gap (ABS grades a standardized, height-based zone), not our error.
