Baltimore Orioles’ Pete Alonso is advocating for MLB to enhance home run call accuracy after a controversial decision during their 5-3 loss to the New York Yankees, where his potential go-ahead homer was ruled foul. Alonso suggested implementing technology similar to the NFL’s pylon cameras to improve fairness, but acknowledged that the unique dimensions of each ballpark complicate this. Orioles manager Craig Albernaz supports the idea, while pitcher Chris Bassitt noted that cost is a significant barrier to such changes. The incident highlights the impact of technology on game outcomes, especially as the Orioles vie for a Wild Card spot.
