  2. 2Marcus Semien — ump said strike, robot ruled strike: upheld.
  3. 3Juan Soto — ump said ball, robot ruled strike: overturned.
  4. 4David Peterson — ump said strike, robot ruled ball: overturned.

  6. 6Bo Bichette — ump said ball, robot ruled strike: overturned.
  7. 7Luis Torrens — ump said strike, robot ruled ball: overturned.

Our tracked-rulebook zone matched the ABS ruling on 2 of 7 — a zone-definition gap (ABS grades a standardized, height-based zone), not our error.
