What this shows — how Doug Eddings called the 212 pitches that were taken (no swing), graded against the tracked rulebook strike zone. He got 194 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

Challenge 1: Travis Bazzana — the ump called it a ball, the robot ruled strike (OVERTURNED — ump overruled).1Challenge 2: Moisés Ballesteros — the ump called it a ball, the robot ruled ball (upheld — ump confirmed).2Challenge 3: Patrick Bailey — the ump called it a strike, the robot ruled ball (OVERTURNED — ump overruled).3Challenge 4: Angel Martínez — the ump called it a ball, the robot ruled strike (OVERTURNED — ump overruled).4Challenge 5: Patrick Bailey — the ump called it a strike, the robot ruled ball (OVERTURNED — ump overruled).5Challenge 6: Patrick Bailey — the ump called it a strike, the robot ruled ball (OVERTURNED — ump overruled).6

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

6 pitches went to the robots · 5 overturned (ump overruled) · 1 upheld (ump confirmed). This is the ABS system’s own measurement — Hawk-Eye optical ball-tracking, not our model.

  1. 1Travis Bazzana — ump said ball, robot ruled strike: overturned.
  2. 2Moisés Ballesteros — ump said ball, robot ruled ball: upheld.
  3. 3Patrick Bailey — ump said strike, robot ruled ball: overturned.
  4. 4Angel Martínez — ump said ball, robot ruled strike: overturned.
  5. 5Patrick Bailey — ump said strike, robot ruled ball: overturned.
  6. 6Patrick Bailey — ump said strike, robot ruled ball: overturned.

Our tracked-rulebook zone matched the ABS ruling on 1 of 6 — a zone-definition gap (ABS grades a standardized, height-based zone), not our error.
