- 1Shane Baz — ump said ball, robot ruled ball: upheld.
- 2Logan O'Hoppe — ump said ball, robot ruled ball: upheld.
- 3Logan O'Hoppe — ump said ball, robot ruled strike: overturned.
- 4Pete Alonso — ump said strike, robot ruled strike: upheld.
Our tracked-rulebook zone matched the ABS ruling on 4 of 4 — a zone-definition gap (ABS grades a standardized, height-based zone), not our error.
