Home plate: Quinn Wolcott
“A workmanlike night — nothing to frame, nothing to fix.”
What this shows — how Quinn Wolcott called the 163 pitches that were taken (no swing), graded against the tracked rulebook strike zone. He got 158 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+0.13▲1 · 1-1 strike called ball
Ty France vs Kohl Drake - 2+0.13▲6 · 1-1 strike called ball
Jake Cronenworth vs Philip Abner - 3+0.10▼1 · 0-1 strike called ball
Ketel Marte vs Walker Buehler
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 · 3 overturned (ump overruled) · 1 upheld (ump confirmed). This is the ABS system’s own measurement — Hawk-Eye optical ball-tracking, not our model.
- 1Gabriel Moreno — ump said strike, robot ruled ball: overturned.
- 2Gabriel Moreno — ump said ball, robot ruled ball: upheld.
- 3Freddy Fermin — ump said strike, robot ruled ball: overturned.
- 4Max Kepler — ump said ball, robot ruled strike: overturned.
Our tracked-rulebook zone matched the ABS ruling on 1 of 4 — a zone-definition gap (ABS grades a standardized, height-based zone), not our error.
