- 1Jose Trevino — ump said ball, robot ruled strike: overturned.
- 2Endy Rodríguez — ump said ball, robot ruled ball: upheld.
- 3Elly De La Cruz — ump said strike, robot ruled ball: overturned.
- 4Sal Stewart — ump said strike, robot ruled strike: upheld.
- 5JJ Bleday — ump said strike, robot ruled ball: overturned.
Our tracked-rulebook zone matched the ABS ruling on 4 of 5 — a zone-definition gap (ABS grades a standardized, height-based zone), not our error.
