MLB Ejections 112-113 - Greg Gibson (3-4; WAS x2)

HP Umpire Greg Gibson ejected Nationals LF Juan Soto and Hitting Coach Kevin Long (strike three call from an earlier at-bat; QOCY). With none out and none on in the bottom of the 6th inning, Soto argued balls and strikes from an earlier at-bat with Gibson as he stepped into the batter's box, resulting in ejection. In the bottom of the 4th inning, Soto led off the frame by taking a 3-2 slider from Braves pitcher Mike Foltynewicz for a called third strike. Replays indicate the pitch was located over the inner edge of home plate and above the hollow of the knee (px .842, pz 1.602 [sz_bot 1.565]) and that all pitches during the at-bat were properly officiated, the call was correct.*^' At the time of the ejections, the Braves were leading, 7-3. The Braves ultimately won the contest, 8-3.

These are Greg Gibson (53)'s third and fourth ejections of 2018.
