Decision Read
Model favored holding
45% overturn probability and -0.91% expected value at challenge time.
Overall, the plate umpire had 3 calls overturned out of 5 reviews, with 2 confirmed. Pitch-location evidence was available on 5 of 5 challenges, which gives the umpire section enough support for a limited zone read. The report is based on challenge events only, not the full pitch-by-pitch plate appearance context. This recap used the deterministic fallback template rather than a model-written narrative, so it stays compact and evidence-based.
