Home plate: Doug Eddings
“Called a fair game and let the players decide it.”
What this shows — how Doug Eddings called the 165 pitches that were taken (no swing), graded against the tracked rulebook strike zone. He got 156 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+0.69▼1 · 3-2 strike called ball
Colton Cowser vs Logan Gilbert - 2+0.13▲5 · 1-1 strike called ball
Ryan Bliss vs Trevor Rogers - 3-0.13▲5 · 1-0 ball called strike
Ryan Bliss vs Trevor Rogers
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
4 pitches went to the robots · 2 overturned (ump overruled) · 2 upheld (ump confirmed). This is the ABS system’s own measurement — Hawk-Eye optical ball-tracking, not our model.
- 1Samuel Basallo — ump said strike, robot ruled strike: upheld.
- 2Mitch Garver — ump said ball, robot ruled strike: overturned.
- 3Mitch Garver — ump said ball, robot ruled strike: overturned.
- 4Tyler O'Neill — ump said strike, robot ruled strike: upheld.
Our tracked-rulebook zone matched the ABS ruling on 4 of 4 — a zone-definition gap (ABS grades a standardized, height-based zone), not our error.
