Runner hit by batted ball- retroactive call? (Phils/Yanks 6/17)

Hi friends, been retired too long to think this through. Play was meaningless in the scope of the game, but something doesn't smell right to me.

2 outs, bases full. Grounder to short which strikes R2 on the foot (in front of the SS- no doubt what the call *should* be). No call. Two runners cross the plate. Defense runs off the field. U3 and U2 talk briefly, then call in U1 and HPU. After a fairly lengthy discussion, R2 is called out and the inning ends.


Is this a "legal" reversal? I'm thinking this is a "see it, call it" play where any ump who saw the batted ball hit R2 should kill the play immediately?

Thanks for the opinions....
