Close Call Sports objectively tracks and analyzes close and controversial calls in sport, with great regard for the rules and spirit of the game. Developed from The Left Field Corner's MLB Umpire Ejection Fantasy League (UEFL), baseball's number one source for umpire ejections, video instant replay reviews and their corresponding calls, with great regard for the rules and spirit of the game.
HP Umpire Will Little ejected Padres SS Freddy Galvis (strike three call; QOCY) in the top of the 8th inning of the Padres-Pirates game. With two out and none on, Galvis took a 3-1 fastball from Pirates pitcher Michael Felix for a called second strike and 3-2 fastball for a called third strike. Replays indicate the 3-1 pitch was located over the outer edge of home plate and thigh-high (px -.787, pz 2.080) and the 3-2 pitch was located over the outer half of home plate and below the midpoint (px -.636, pz 3.163 [sz_top 3.301]), the call was correct. At the time of the ejection, the Pirates were leading, 5-4. The Pirates ultimately won the contest, 5-4.
This is Will Little (93)'s first ejection of 2018.
