What this shows — how Quinn Wolcott called the 146 pitches that were taken (no swing), graded against the tracked rulebook strike zone. He got 138 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: Nick Fortes — the ump called it a ball, the robot ruled ball (upheld — ump confirmed).1Challenge 2: Colt Keith — the ump called it a strike, the robot ruled strike (upheld — ump confirmed).2Challenge 3: Spencer Torkelson — the ump called it a strike, the robot ruled strike (upheld — ump confirmed).3

    Junior Caminero vs Framber Valdez

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

3 pitches went to the robots · 0 overturned (ump overruled) · 3 upheld (ump confirmed). This is the ABS system’s own measurement — Hawk-Eye optical ball-tracking, not our model.

  1. 1Nick Fortes — ump said ball, robot ruled ball: upheld.
  2. 2Colt Keith — ump said strike, robot ruled strike: upheld.
  3. 3Spencer Torkelson — ump said strike, robot ruled strike: upheld.

Our tracked-rulebook zone matched the ABS ruling on 3 of 3 — a zone-definition gap (ABS grades a standardized, height-based zone), not our error.
