Ejection of the Year: Ron Kulpa's dual managerial ejections of Cleveland's Terry Francona and Los Angeles' Phil Nevin during a September game are the 2022 ejections of the year, all in one concise video package. The ejection began with a check swing vs hit-by-pitch and denied Manager's Challenge request (Francona) and concluded with Nevin's ejection for arguing a pace of play issue relative to an Angels pitcher trying to throw warm up pitches when Kulpa wanted to resume gameplay.

Fill-In Umpire of the Year: Junior Valentine (14.1%).
Others: Shane Livensparger (13.3%), Nick Mahrley (12.6%), Jose Navas (10.4%), Edwin Moscoso (8.9%).
Junior Valentine is the 2022 Fill-In Umpire of the Year, having worked nearly the entire MLB season and turning in quality plate performances. This bodes well for Valentine's hiring chances as the full-time staff prepares for a healthy number of offseason retirements in 2022-23.
Most Improved Umpire of the Year: Bruce Dreckman (8.8%).
Others: Brian Knight (8.0%); Adrian Johnson (5.6%); Jordan Baker, T Gibson, Andy Fletcher (4.8%).
Bruce Dreckman is the 2022 Most Improved Umpire of the Year, returning to the postseason for the first time in several years after a successful 2022 regular season campaign.
Crew Chief of the Year: Dan Iassogna (33.1%).
Others: Mark Wegner (14.3%), Marvin Hudson (13.5%), Alfonso Marquez (12.0%), T Barrett (7.5%).
Dan Iassogna's first World Series Crew Chief assignment turned out well as Iassogna is the 2022 Crew Chief of the Year. His regular season performance and tutelage of young umpires on his crew helped Iassogna earn this award.
Most Disappointing Season: Doug Eddings (10.7%).
Others: CB Bucknor, Tom Hallion (9.9%); Jeff Nelson (8.3%), Kulpa (6.6%).
Every so often a postseason award seemingly defies conventional metrics, and this is such an award. Doug Eddings receives the 2022 Most Disappointing Season award, and chances are a subpar regular season October plate score had something to do with it. Nonetheless, Eddings also put up one of the highest plate scores this season (in May) and was assigned his second-overall League Championship Series and first since 2005.
