What this shows — how Doug Eddings called the 154 pitches that were taken (no swing), graded against the tracked rulebook strike zone. He got 143 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: Logan Webb — the ump called it a ball, the robot ruled ball (upheld — ump confirmed).1Challenge 2: Kyle Karros — the ump called it a strike, the robot ruled strike (upheld — ump confirmed).2Challenge 3: Willi Castro — the ump called it a ball, the robot ruled strike (OVERTURNED — ump overruled).3

The calls that moved the game

    Matt Chapman vs Michael Lorenzen
  3. 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 Hawkeye ground truth, no model involved.

  1. 1Logan Webb — ump said ball, robot ruled ball: upheld.
  2. 2Kyle Karros — ump said strike, robot ruled strike: upheld.
  3. 3Willi Castro — ump said ball, robot ruled strike: overturned.

Our tracked-rulebook zone matched the ABS ruling on 2 of 3 — a zone-definition gap (ABS grades a standardized, height-based zone), not our error.
