Home plate: Stu Scheurwater
“Called a fair game and let the players decide it.”
What this shows — how Stu Scheurwater called the 182 pitches that were taken (no swing), graded against the tracked rulebook strike zone, or, on a pitch the ABS (Automated Ball-Strike System) reviewed on a challenge, against its ruling. 169 were right. Below, only the misses are plotted, alongside every challenged pitch.
The zone, as he called it
* Graded on the ABS ruling. ABS measures its own zone, set by the batter’s height and taken at the middle of the plate, and our tracking puts this pitch on the other side of the line.
The calls that moved the game
- 1+0.28▲3 · 1-2 strike called ball

Hunter Feduccia vs Brad Lord - 3+0.28▲8 · 1-2 strike called ball· challenged ✓
Nasim Nuñez vs Bobby Miller
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
5 pitches went to the robots · 3 overturned (ump overruled) · 2 upheld (ump confirmed). This is the ABS system’s own measurement — Hawk-Eye optical ball-tracking, not our model.
- 1Jacob Young — ump said strike, robot ruled ball: overturned.
- 2Hunter Feduccia — ump said strike, robot ruled ball: overturned.
- 3Will Smith — ump said ball, robot ruled strike: overturned.
- 4Harry Ford — ump said ball, robot ruled ball: upheld.
- 5Dylan Crews — ump said strike, robot ruled strike: upheld.
Our tracked-rulebook zone matched the ABS ruling on 4 of 5 — a zone-definition gap (ABS grades a standardized, height-based zone). Where the two disagree, the umpire is graded on the ABS ruling.
