Home plate: Doug Eddings
“A workmanlike night — nothing to frame, nothing to fix.”
What this shows — how Doug Eddings called the 163 pitches that were taken (no swing), graded against the tracked rulebook strike zone. He got 153 right. Below, only his misses are plotted, alongside every pitch the ABS (Automated Ball-Strike System) reviewed on a challenge.

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.
- 1Salvador Perez — ump said ball, robot ruled strike: overturned.
- 2Taylor Walls — ump said strike, robot ruled ball: overturned.
- 3Carter Jensen — ump said ball, robot ruled ball: upheld.
- 4Richie Palacios — 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.
