“One dugout got the friendlier version of the evening.”
What this shows — how Brian Walsh called the 186 pitches that were taken (no swing), graded against the tracked rulebook strike zone. He got 174 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
5 pitches went to the robots · 2 overturned (ump overruled) · 3 upheld (ump confirmed). This is the ABS system’s own measurement — Hawk-Eye optical ball-tracking, not our model.
- 1Drew Cavanaugh — ump said ball, robot ruled ball: upheld.
- 2Brett Sullivan — ump said strike, robot ruled ball: overturned.
- 3Jordan Beck — ump said ball, robot ruled strike: overturned.
- 4Cole Carrigg — ump said strike, robot ruled strike: upheld.
- 5Bryce Eldridge — ump said strike, robot ruled strike: upheld.
Our tracked-rulebook zone matched the ABS ruling on 4 of 5 — a zone-definition gap (ABS grades a standardized, height-based zone), not our error.
