The Dominican Republic’s Geraldo Perdomo looks at strike three to end their WBC loss to the USA on March 15, 2026. Statcast projects that this ball was more than two inches below the zone.
Soto was also called out on a slider below the zone, thrown by Garrett Whitlock in the eighth inning. It was another pitch that was not particularly close and thwarted a potential rally for a loaded Dominican team.
For Perdomo, he was caught looking on a 3-2 pitch that would have put men on first and third with two outs in a 2-1 game.
Statcast projects the ball to Perodomo was roughly 2½ inches below the zone.
Instead, it was game over, and the USA began celebrating as Mason Miller took a sigh of relief after nailing down the tense save.
