Most umpires will have a different motion they use for calling strike 1/2 compared to strike 3. Some really get into calling strikeouts haha Consistency is probably the most important quality an umpire can have. Most can get away with favoring a certain side of the plate or having a tall/short zone as long as they’re consistent with it and the hitters can know what to expect.

11:00 Not a stupid question. You guys got it: usually the umpire has one signal they give for the 1st and 2nd strike, and a more emphatic signal for the 3rd strike, since it's also an out. I think that's why strikeouts are also known as "punch-outs", because the ump mimics a punching motion on the 3rd strike.

Interesting and fun to watch you guys learn more about baseball. Probably in a minority here, but I think that overall the umpires do a pretty good job. Considering the movement on the ball, the different sizes and stances of the batters. The pitchers whole intent is to fool the batter so of course, sometimes the pitcher also fools the umpire. Usually the bad calls happen to both teams, so kind of hard to say that some bad calls influenced the outcome of the game -- even if the last out of the game is a result of a bad call -- who's to say that the final score would be effected. With all of the thousands of games in a season, its very easy to point out some calls that might have effected the game, and it's especially frustrating if your team finishes a game behind in the playoff race.

I really think the replay rule, in spirit, is the Jim Joyce rule. Galarraga had that game, and Jim Joyce made a call that in his OWN hindsight was terribly wrong. The man openly wept on national tv while personally apologizing to Armando for the bad call. Honestly, the grace that Galarraga displayed when it happened, and Joyce's humility in the wake of the game always made me really think highly of both men. While nobody every wants to be a martyr, Armando was for baseball... and we're all better off for it.

As an umpire myself: There's something called the "slot" that you're taught. It's the area right in between the batter and the plate. You're supposed to set up there, as that spot is the least likely to get yourself nailed with a foul ball. You're also taught that as soon as the ball leaves the pitcher's hand, you're supposed to keep your head completely still and just track the ball with your eyes. The bad umps in this video are following those rules to the letter. Hoberg seems to be completely forgoing both of those things, and hey, it clearly works.

Trackman Doppler radars and cameras was first implemented in 2008 at all MLB parks, initiated by the individual teams. The teams were more interested with the speeds of the pitched balls than over the ball’s locations. Because they were grading pitchers more so than umpires. MLB upgraded the equipment in 2020 at the league level desiring a much better set of data including location because they wished to grade umpires more than the pitchers. So being able to grade umpires how well they call balls and strikes is limited with the best technology to the last 3 years. In case you have not noticed it, a solid dot marking where the ball was over the plate should be called a strike, a hollow dot should be called a ball. How quickly we all fall into the trap expecting modern technolgy even 5 years ago before it even existed. I understand the op idea that better umpires should be positioned at home plate, it is entirely unrealistic. Umpires rotate umpire positions every game just to rest between plate turns. Having one umpire in the crew take the plate appearance for every game will over work him.

I umpired youth, high school, national tournament travel ball, and small college baseball over a twenty eight year career. Umpires are taught from day one to put their head over the catchers inside shoulder. Some umpires feel that they can be more consistent by always setting up with their nose on the inside edge of the plate. It is a difficult job to maintain the concentration needed over a three hour ball game, sometimes on a very hot day. I think the best umpires, as a group, in pro ball are at the Triple A minor league level, one level below "The Show". Their still young and ambitious and are graded severely. It's almost impossible to make it to the big leaguesand you had better be outstanding if you want to work the Majors.

Regarding the question at the end: I umpire high school and little league games. The community culture of umpires is pretty much the same, though, regardless of what level of game you officiate. One of the traditions within the community is to develop your own style of calling Strike 3; that said, if you look at different umpires, their strike calls, and especially their 3rd Strike call, will not appear the same. Strike 1 & 2 is called either with a point, or what looks like a hammer motion; Strike 3 may have a wide range of styles, whether it be a bow and arrow motion, a lawnmower start motion, or the one you saw that looked like someone ripping a notebook real fast. The way they vocalize strikes is also different, usually you will hear either a variation on the accent of STRIKE!, or they may say HA! Whereas on Strike 3, it will intentionally be very different, so as to help "sell" the call, as well as to quickly make the batter aware that he should walk to the dugout instead of 1st base. FYI if you're curious, I'm a point guy on strike 1 & 2, and my Strike 3 is a "STEE-HA!" with the ripping motion that you saw, but my right hand is more like a hammer rather than the straight jabbing motion you made in the video.

It's actually, in my opinion, the other way around, or you've got it backwards. Calling balls and strikes is EASIER in and out. Why? The plate is 17" inches wide. It was yesterday, is today, will be tomorrow. The baseball is 3" wide (actually just a tad smaller but let's just say 3".) Add it up, the pitcher has 23" inches available horizontally to throw a strike. That NEVER changes, in theory (a 12-0 ballgame in the bottom of the last inning, the plate DOES get wider, sorry, that's just reality) from batter to batter. Up and down though, vertically, the strike zone changes, depending on the height of the batter. Doesn't change much but it DOES change/vary, especially in younger age groups. For example, 14yr olds. One batter may be 6' foot tall, the next 5' foot tall. That's a big difference, at the top of the zone (chest area) and the bottom (at the knees.) I've been umpiring 34 yes, from high level college to 7-8 yr olds, and I have always struggled more, being consistent, calling pitches up and down than in and out. That's the key though. If an umpire has a bias, is willing to reach for a pitch out of the zone, whether that be off the plate outside (not ridiculously outside) or down in the zone, BE CONSISTENT, for BOTH TEAMS/PITCHERS!!! The batters will figure it out and adjust. My biggest goal is to NEVER take the bat out of the batter's hands. Just my humble opinion 👍!

Most umpires have their particular hand signal variation for strikes or balls. Balls are simple, you just don't move your arms. Strikes, you usually point away from the batter (so for lefties, who stand in to the right side of the plate, you would point to the left, and vice versa). Then, you get 2 different hand signals if the player is out. If the player swings for strike three, it's usually a punch (just like if a player is out at one of the other bases). If the player takes a "called strike 3" (i.e. they didn't swing but it was a strike) they do this "reverse punch" kinda thing.

Keep in mind that box you see on tv is not official. It’s more for viewer engagement. It’s made by the tv network. Our view is angled due to camera set up not being behind the pitcher. Where the catcher catches the ball isn’t necessarily where the ball crosses the plate and most importantly the strike zone is not a flat 2D rectangle. It’s a 3D plane that mirrors home plate, that is supposed to cover the area from the hitters chest to knee. A ball could certainly clip the bottom of the zone and fall much lower than the tv strike zone.

4:23 - It's one of those cases where people do whatever works for them, but yeah, if there is a trend of a certain style not working as well as another, it won't be made a rule per se, but they will definitely start teaching new umps that style. 4:59 - There are a fair number of cases where home plate umpires have to leave games from catching a foul tip STRAIGHT to the face. It's not SUPER common based on the sheer number of games played but it happens a few times a season. Not fun. 9:07 - Angel's been hurt so he hasn't been out there for a few weeks. 10:55 - Nick nails it. Umpires tend to have different mechanics for signaling strikes 1 and 2 vs. strike 3. 1 and 2 will usually just have a simple gesture with the right hand while a called strike 3 is more of a full body punch-out. A swinging strike 3 might be a little less demonstrative since there's no question of what happened but, either way, strike 3 always includes some version of the right hand in a fist to indicate the out call. 13:22 - I doubt it but in the modern technology era, balls and strikes are judged with a small margin of error so (like this guy's 5), if there is a pitch within that margin of error, they will still be marked correct for that pitch. kzitem.info/news/bejne/zX93qXaYh6uhdYo This is a great video from another great baseball KZitemr Jolly Olive on another Jomboy Media channel, JM Baseball (Jack has his own channel which is worth a follow but he also works for Jimmy now). It is particularly awesome because it includes a clip from one of the all-time classic depictions of an umpire in fiction: that of Leslie Nielsen playing LA police detective Frank Drebin sneaking into a baseball game as the home plate umpire to try to prevent the assassination of Queen Elizabeth II who is visiting to watch said game, during the spoof comedy movie The Naked Gun. Both the movie and the scene are as ridiculous as that sounded, if not more, and the movie is worth a watch just for this scene alone.

Another Jomboy vid I recommend is "Julio Urias changes arm slots to mess with Soto, a breakdown". It's awesome watching these little battles between pitcher and batter, and I think you guys would enjoy it.

I never understood why so many umps do not move in and out. Laziness and lack of humility probably.

It’s a lot of knee action, some of the older umps may not have the agility anymore. But batters and pitchers shouldn’t have to suffer wrong calls because of it

As a counter-point, here the first base umpire ruins a perfect game: kzitem.info/news/bejne/xaeguaCHnZOJqno What's mysterious about this call is that the play is not even close. The runner is out by one full step. It denied the pitcher a place in baseball history. Maybe the ump was checking his social media when the play happened.

If you go a whole game and never notice the officials, in any game, then they did their job well. and Yea, strike 3 is usually a little more ...emphatic for signal that an out has been made.

The reason that you haven’t seen angel hernandez ump this season, is because he’s only umped one game in 2023, allegedly due to medical reasons

the umps that tend to be the worst are the older guys that have a harder time doing the required squatting. they just assume the position they can get into and you get what you get.

The accentuated call on the strike is a strike out. That’s always the third strike. Anybody has said it yet, but the strike zone is the width of the plate from the batters knees to their letters on their jersey. Their chest. Knees to letters.
