MLB Ejection 012 - Edwin Moscoso (1; Aroldis Chapman)

HP Umpire Edwin Moscoso ejected Pirates pitcher Aroldis Chapman (balls/strikes; QOCY) in the bottom of the 8th inning of the #Pirates-#Mets game. With none out and none on, Mets batter Francisco Alvarez struck out, Jeff McNeil struck out but advanced to first on a wild pitch by Chapman, DJ Stewart walked, both runners stole bases, and Harrison Bader doubled to score both runners. During Chapman's appearance prior to ejection, Moscoso officiated 14-of-15 callable pitches correctly (93.3%), the call was correct.*

This is Edwin Moscoso (32)'s 1st ejection of 2024.

*The incorrect ball call during Alvarez's at-bat was the only miss of the inning; three pitches later, Alvarez was called out on strikes. By rule, 93% accuracy when the miss occurs during an at-bat that favors the ejected results in a QOCY decision.

This is the 12th ejection report of the 2024 MLB regular season.

This is the 7th player ejection of 2024. Prior to ejection, Chapman's line was 0.1 IP, 3 ER, L.
