Tough to tell, but maybe Ozuna gets his hand in after he touches F2's shinguard? Would it have been seen at 3blx?

 

I'm not saying Nauert is in the wrong position, ....just thinking out loud for conversations sake....

Looks like a good call. I can't tell from any angle that the touched the plate.

 

at 1:10 I think he gets the plate when he slides off from the shinguard -- if I had to make the call from that view, I'd have him safe -- but nowhere near clear enough (IMO) to reverse or to say it's a "bad" call . . . with one look at high speed, there's no way to expect the ump to be able to discern that when the first and best contact was with the shin guard.
