It's an interesting one.
From the angle that most closely matches the angle the umpire had...completely blown. Absolutely likes like he got him on the leg 3 feet before the plate.
From the 2 angles on the other side, though? I have my doubts. If he did get him, he JUST brushed his leg with the fingertips of the mitt. It's shocking how much closer the call looks from that angle. I honestly think that, with those other 2 angles, neither a safe nor an out call would have been overturned with replay.
ETA: Nah, just took another look at the original angle (and a 4th one I had not seen). He blew it. From the first base angle it still looks like he might have missed it, but from behind the 3rd base angle, and from behind the plate (the ump's angle), it's clear.
