Model favored a challenge
53% overturn probability and +2.21% expected value at challenge time.
Overall, the plate umpire had 2 calls overturned out of 3 reviews, with 1 confirmed. Pitch-location evidence was available on 3 of 3 challenges, but 2 relied on inferred coordinates, so zone takeaways should stay measured. 2 challenge locations relied on inferred coordinates, so any zone commentary should be treated as directional rather than exact. This recap used the deterministic fallback template rather than a model-written narrative, so it stays compact and evidence-based.
