Home plate: Quinn Wolcott
“A steady night's work behind the plate.”
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
The calls that moved the game
- 1-0.20▼8 · 2-1 ball called strike
Colt Keith vs Manuel Rodríguez - 2+0.19▲3 · 2-0 strike called ball
Junior Caminero vs Framber Valdez - 3+0.13▲7 · 1-1 strike called ball
Taylor Walls vs Tanner Rainey
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.
- 1Nick Fortes — ump said ball, robot ruled ball: upheld.
- 2Colt Keith — ump said strike, robot ruled strike: upheld.
- 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.
