MLB Ejection 093 - Hunter Wendelstedt (3; Jesse Winker)

HP Umpire Hunter Wendelstedt ejected Nationals LF Jesse Winker (strike three call; QOCY) in the top of the 5th inning of the #Nationals-#Rockies game. With one out and none on, Winker took a 2-2 sinker from Rockies pitcher Cal Quantrill for a called third strike. Replays indicate the pitch was located over the inner half of home plate and below the midpoint (px 0.36, pz 3.57 [sz_top 3.52 / RAD 3.64]), the call was correct.* At the time of the ejection, the Rockies were leading, 4-3. The Rockies ultimately won the contest, 8-7, on a walk-off pitch clock violation as Nationals pitcher Kyle Finnegan failed to deliver a 3-2, bases loaded pitch in the bottom of the 9th before the expiration of time.

This is Hunter Wendelstedt (21)'s 3rd ejection of 2024.

*This pitch was located 1.80 vertical inches from being deemed incorrect.

This is the 93rd ejection of the 2024 MLB regular season.
