Home plate: Doug Eddings
“Two dugouts, and only one of them smiling.”
What this shows — how Doug Eddings called the 137 pitches that were taken (no swing), graded against the tracked rulebook strike zone. He got 129 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

Junior Caminero vs Logan Gilbert - 2-0.69▼4 · 3-2 ball called strike
Dominic Canzone vs Drew Rasmussen - 3+0.19▲7 · 2-0 strike called ball
Taylor Walls vs Logan Gilbert
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
3 pitches went to the robots · 0 overturned (ump overruled) · 3 upheld (ump confirmed). This is the ABS system’s own measurement — Hawk-Eye optical ball-tracking, not our model.
- 1Cal Raleigh — ump said ball, robot ruled ball: upheld.
- 2Cal Raleigh — ump said ball, robot ruled ball: upheld.
- 3Liam Hicks — ump said ball, robot ruled ball: upheld.
Our tracked-rulebook zone matched the ABS ruling on 1 of 3 — a zone-definition gap (ABS grades a standardized, height-based zone), not our error.
