What this shows — how Quinn Wolcott called the 140 pitches that were taken (no swing), graded against the tracked rulebook strike zone. He got 129 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

Challenge 1: Jacob Lopez — the ump called it a ball, the robot ruled strike (OVERTURNED — ump overruled).1Challenge 2: Nick Fortes — the ump called it a ball, the robot ruled ball (upheld — ump confirmed).2Challenge 3: Jonathan Aranda — the ump called it a strike, the robot ruled ball (OVERTURNED — ump overruled).3Challenge 4: Jonah Heim — the ump called it a ball, the robot ruled strike (OVERTURNED — ump overruled).4

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.

  1. 1Jacob Lopez — ump said ball, robot ruled strike: overturned.
  2. 2Nick Fortes — ump said ball, robot ruled ball: upheld.
  3. 3Jonathan Aranda — ump said strike, robot ruled ball: overturned.
  4. 4Jonah Heim — ump said ball, robot ruled strike: 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.
