Home plate: Doug Eddings
“Somebody's pitching staff sent a thank-you note.”
What this shows — how Doug Eddings called the 154 pitches that were taken (no swing), graded against the tracked rulebook strike zone. He got 142 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
- 1-0.28▼3 · 1-2 ball called strike
Jake McCarthy vs Logan Webb - 2+0.20▲4 · 2-1 strike called ball
Matt Chapman vs Michael Lorenzen - 3-0.19▼3 · 2-0 ball called strike
Hunter Goodman vs Logan Webb
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 · 1 overturned (ump overruled) · 2 upheld (ump confirmed). This is the ABS system’s own measurement — Hawk-Eye optical ball-tracking, not our model.
- 1Logan Webb — ump said ball, robot ruled ball: upheld.
- 2Kyle Karros — ump said strike, robot ruled strike: upheld.
- 3Willi Castro — ump said strike, robot ruled ball: overturned.
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.
