What this shows — how Doug Eddings called the 151 pitches that were taken (no swing), graded against the tracked rulebook strike zone. He got 137 right. Below, only his misses are plotted, alongside every pitch the ABS (Automated Ball-Strike System) reviewed on a challenge.

ABS — the Automated Ball-Strike System

7 pitches went to the robots · 5 overturned (ump overruled) · 2 upheld (ump confirmed). This is the ABS system’s own measurement — Hawk-Eye optical ball-tracking, not our model.

  1. 1Juan Soto — ump said strike, robot ruled ball: overturned.
  2. 2Gabriel Rincones Jr. — ump said strike, robot ruled ball: overturned.
  3. 3Francisco Alvarez — ump said ball, robot ruled ball: upheld.
  4. 4Rafael Marchán — ump said ball, robot ruled ball: upheld.
  5. 5Mark Vientos — ump said strike, robot ruled ball: overturned.
  6. 6Eric Wagaman — ump said strike, robot ruled ball: overturned.
  7. 7Eric Wagaman — ump said strike, robot ruled ball: overturned.

Our tracked-rulebook zone matched the ABS ruling on 6 of 7 — a zone-definition gap (ABS grades a standardized, height-based zone), not our error.
