The bow-and-arrow, chainsaw, punch-out jabs, and Tom Hallion Backbreaker™ are all back for 2019, as this year's Sabino Strike video compilation once again features all umpires on the MLB staff and all MiLB call-ups in numerical order, from sleeve #1 Bruce Dreckman (Chainsaw) to #98 Chris Conroy (Bow-and-Arrow).
New this year, batter handedness plays a role as the video includes umpire calls that are left- and right-handed specific, for those umpires who vary their strike three called mechanic based on which side of the plate the batter stands.
