Home plate: Doug Eddings
“Reliable as a Tuesday: no complaints, no headlines.”
What this shows — how Doug Eddings called the 165 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.
The zone, as he called it
The calls that moved the game
- 1+0.28▼3 · 1-2 strike called ball
Bryce Eldridge vs Brandon Sproat - 2-0.23▼6 · 0-2 ball called strike
Christian Koss vs Brandon Sproat - 3+0.20▼8 · 2-1 strike called ball
Rafael Devers vs Garrett Stallings
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 · 1 overturned (ump overruled) · 3 upheld (ump confirmed). This is the ABS system’s own measurement — Hawk-Eye optical ball-tracking, not our model.
- 1Jesus Rodriguez — ump said ball, robot ruled ball: upheld.
- 2Jake Bauers — ump said ball, robot ruled strike: overturned.
- 3William Contreras — ump said ball, robot ruled ball: upheld.
- 4William Contreras — ump said ball, robot ruled ball: upheld.
Our tracked-rulebook zone matched the ABS ruling on 1 of 4 — a zone-definition gap (ABS grades a standardized, height-based zone), not our error.
