Sorry, wrong at-bat. Or their system is bunk, because the pitch was low and away, not on the inside corner.

Depends on whether the view presented is from the front or rear of the plate.

I saw a TV game a few years back when, with the plate area mic'd, the catcher was called out on strike three. He stood there and said "That pitch was outside. If you're going to call it a strike then I want it for my guys too." He stayed in the game.

Pretty sure that view is from the catcher's and umpire's perspective, not from the pitcher's.

Nope. It's the right at bat. The point of reference is from behind the plate.
