What this shows — how Doug Eddings called the 156 pitches that were taken (no swing), graded against the tracked rulebook strike zone. He got 139 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: Carlos Narváez — the ump called it a ball, the robot ruled strike (OVERTURNED — ump overruled).1Challenge 2: Henry Bolte — the ump called it a strike, the robot ruled ball (OVERTURNED — ump overruled).2Challenge 3: Gunnar Henderson — the ump called it a strike, the robot ruled ball (OVERTURNED — ump overruled).3Challenge 4: Alika Williams — the ump called it a strike, the robot ruled ball (OVERTURNED — ump overruled).4Challenge 5: Jeff McNeil — the ump called it a strike, the robot ruled ball (OVERTURNED — ump overruled).5Challenge 6: Jonah Heim — 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 · 6 overturned (ump overruled) · 0 upheld (ump confirmed). This is the ABS system’s own measurement — Hawk-Eye optical ball-tracking, not our model.

  1. 1Carlos Narváez — ump said ball, robot ruled strike: overturned.
  2. 2Henry Bolte — ump said strike, robot ruled ball: overturned.
  3. 3Gunnar Henderson — ump said strike, robot ruled ball: overturned.
  4. 4Alika Williams — ump said strike, robot ruled ball: overturned.
  5. 5Jeff McNeil — ump said strike, robot ruled ball: overturned.
  6. 6Jonah Heim — ump said strike, robot ruled ball: overturned.

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