“The zone had wings tonight.”

Taylor Trammell vs Nolan McLean - 2-0.19▼3 · 2-0 ball called strike
Juan Soto vs Cristian Javier - 3+0.13▼1 · 1-1 strike called ball
Francisco Lindor vs Bennett Sousa
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
2 pitches went to the robots · 2 overturned (ump overruled) · 0 upheld (ump confirmed). This is the ABS system’s own measurement — Hawk-Eye optical ball-tracking, not our model.
- 1Christian Vázquez — ump said strike, robot ruled ball: overturned.
- 2Daulton Varsho — ump said ball, robot ruled strike: overturned.
Our tracked-rulebook zone matched the ABS ruling on 0 of 2 — a zone-definition gap (ABS grades a standardized, height-based zone), not our error.
