Home plate: Quinn Wolcott
“The plate grew a few inches after the first pitch.”
What this shows — how Quinn Wolcott called the 140 pitches that were taken (no swing), graded against the tracked rulebook strike zone. He got 128 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 · 3 overturned (ump overruled) · 1 upheld (ump confirmed). This is the ABS system’s own measurement — Hawk-Eye optical ball-tracking, not our model.
- 1Jacob Lopez — ump said strike, robot ruled ball: overturned.
- 2Nick Fortes — ump said ball, robot ruled ball: upheld.
- 3Jonathan Aranda — ump said ball, robot ruled strike: overturned.
- 4Jonah Heim — ump said strike, robot ruled ball: overturned.
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.
