Giants’ Wilmer Flores could’ve been saved by controversial check-swing review system that vindicated Yandy Díaz

Around the Foghorn's Nick San Miguel argues that a minor league check-swing review system could have saved Wilmer Flores and the Giants in 2021. The discussion was revived after Tampa Bay Rays slugger Yandy Diaz was ruled to have swung on a controversial check swing to end Game 2 of the World Series against the Milwaukee Brewers.

A video shared by analyst Tom Tango indicated Diaz's swing would have been ruled a ball under the experimental system, meaning Flores' shorter check swing in Game 5 of the 2021 NLDS would have also been overturned. San Miguel suggests the automated review needs fine-tuning, proposing that crossing home plate should define a swing rather than extending to the foul line.
