- 1Manny Machado — ump said strike, robot ruled strike: upheld.
- 2Luis Campusano — ump said ball, robot ruled ball: upheld.
- 3James McCann — ump said ball, robot ruled ball: upheld.
- 4James McCann — ump said strike, robot ruled ball: overturned.
- 5Geraldo Perdomo — ump said strike, robot ruled strike: upheld.
Our tracked-rulebook zone matched the ABS ruling on 5 of 5 — a zone-definition gap (ABS grades a standardized, height-based zone), not our error.
