BOS @ LAD
Home plate: Doug Eddings
“The black wasn't in play tonight.”
What this shows — how Doug Eddings called the 102 pitches that were taken (no swing), graded against the tracked rulebook strike zone. He got 91 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+0.39▲2 · 2-2 strike called ball
Nick Sogard vs Yoshinobu Yamamoto - 2+0.13▲2 · 1-1 strike called ball
Nick Sogard vs Yoshinobu Yamamoto - 3+0.13▲9 · 1-1 strike called ball
Caleb Durbin vs Alex Vesia
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 · 3 overturned (ump overruled) · 1 upheld (ump confirmed). This is the ABS system’s own measurement — Hawk-Eye optical ball-tracking, not our model.
- 1Connor Wong — ump said strike, robot ruled ball: overturned.
- 2Connor Wong — ump said ball, robot ruled ball: upheld.
- 3Anthony Seigler — ump said strike, robot ruled ball: overturned.
- 4Connor Wong — ump said ball, robot ruled strike: overturned.
Our tracked-rulebook zone matched the ABS ruling on 2 of 4 — a zone-definition gap (ABS grades a standardized, height-based zone), not our error.
