Home plate: Hunter Wendelstedt
“One dugout got the friendlier version of the evening.”
What this shows — how Hunter Wendelstedt called the 158 pitches that were taken (no swing), graded against the tracked rulebook strike zone. He got 152 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+0.39▲7 · 2-2 strike called ball
Jose Siri vs Adrian Houser - 2-0.39▼9 · 2-2 ball called strike
Heliot Ramos vs Mitch Farris - 3-0.21▼9 · 3-0 ball called strike
Drew Cavanaugh vs Sam Bachman
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.
- 1Logan O'Hoppe — ump said strike, robot ruled strike: upheld.
- 2Nolan Schanuel — ump said ball, robot ruled strike: overturned.
- 3Grant McCray — ump said strike, robot ruled strike: upheld.
- 4Willy Adames — 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.
