Postseason discussion is now open with the Wild Card Games on Tuesday, October 6 and Wednesday the 7th. Notes include home plate umpire performance according to pitch f/x and UEFL Rules 6-2-b-a (horizontal bound, "Kulpa Rule") and 6-2-b-b (vertical strike zone, "Miller Rule"). Plays include significant plays and instant replay reviews, if such plays occur. Call +/- also included/highlighted.
- 10/06, HOU@NYY ALWC: Eric Cooper: pfx (104/107 Balls, 47/51 Strikes = 151/158 = 95.6%) +3 HOU.
- 10/07, CHC@PIT, NLWC: Jeff Nelson: pfx (74/77 Balls, 42/46 Strikes = 116/123 = 94.3%) +1 PIT.
NOTE: With 96.2% in Game 2 and 96.4% in Game 7, respectively, Eric Cooper and Jeff Nelson had the best plate performances during the 2014 World Series.
