- 2Rafael Marchán — ump said ball, robot ruled strike: overturned.
- 3Rafael Marchán — ump said ball, robot ruled strike: overturned.

- 5Keibert Ruiz — ump said ball, robot ruled ball: upheld.
Our tracked-rulebook zone matched the ABS ruling on 3 of 5 — a zone-definition gap (ABS grades a standardized, height-based zone), not our error.
