UEFL's MLB Umpire Sabermetrics Update - August 2016

MLB Umpire Sabermetrics through August feature 147 ejections and 1,206 Replay Reviews through 1,987 games played.

We presently expect 180 ejections this season, and 1,475 Replay Reviews. As previously noted, ejections dropped off after the Joe Torre memo, but so too did Replay Reviews. After overturned Replays outnumbered affirmed rulings for the first time in MLB history, the trend not only continued, but accelerated in pace: overturned calls now make up over 51% of all Replay Reviews.
