Home plate: Quinn Wolcott
“Reliable as a Tuesday: no complaints, no headlines.”
What this shows — how Quinn Wolcott called the 192 pitches that were taken (no swing), graded against the tracked rulebook strike zone. He got 179 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

Jake Bauers vs George Kirby - 2+0.13▼4 · 1-1 strike called ball
Jake Bauers vs José A. Ferrer - 3-0.13▲5 · 1-0 ball called strike
Taylor Ward vs Chad Patrick
Run impact from the count run-value table: a missed strike three is worth far more than one on 3-0.
