Umpires missed 14,441 calls during the first half of the MLB season and had 3,217 calls overturned, according to the Umpire Auditor Twitter/X account.
Some of those calls involved the Cincinnati Reds, but none of the worst called third strikes did, per the account.
Umpire Auditor’s tweet included video of called third strikes missing the strike zone by anywhere from 3.9 to 5.99 inches. Some were challenged, and some weren’t.
Reds rookie All-Star Sal Stewart leads MLB with 23 successful ABS challenges, according to Baseball Savant.
Among MLB catchers with at least 50 ABS challenges, the Reds’ Tyler Stephenson has been the most successful, both in number of challenges won (62) and percentage won (73).
