Home plate: Chad Fairchild
“A steady night's work behind the plate.”
What this shows — how Chad Fairchild called the 147 pitches that were taken (no swing), graded against the tracked rulebook strike zone. He got 139 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.
- 1Wyatt Langford — ump said strike, robot ruled ball: overturned.
- 2Danny Jansen — ump said ball, robot ruled strike: overturned.
- 3Harry Ford — ump said ball, robot ruled ball: upheld.
- 4Dylan Crews — 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.
