I think this game was way bigger than this umpire should/could handle. He is 2 feet back from the catcher, never gets in a stance and is flinching on almost every ball. I totally get that umpires don't want to umpire any more; because, they hate abuse from fans, coaches and players, etc... most of that is correct, but unfortunately, it is umpires like this that should really never have been put in this spot to begin with. Needs to umpire Junior Varsity or Freshman and get an umpire mentor that can help him get better. Love you content Cobra!! : )

Thats what It looks like when a pitcher throw hard misses his spot by the length of the plate... LOL!!! Pitch was supposed to be on the outside edge but pitcher completely missed and good reaction by the catcher to get to it. It absolutely is a strike as well because the batters toes are on the line and knees hanging over it and the ball sliding in not hitting his knees will put it right on inside corner. Was absolutely painted if it was called to be there LOL.

Really doesn’t help berating the umpires. There’s less and less people volunteering to be umpires for the small pay that they get. When my kid used to play, Little League and umpires didn’t show up, I would often get asked to go in there and umpire the game so the kids could play. It was LITTLE LEAGUE and I vividly remember parents who would become enraged if they felt that I made a bad call. The coach has a right to be passionate, and get on the umpires case, because the umpire has the ability to throw the coach out if the coach gets out of hand. The parents need to STFU.

When high school sports start getting canceled it will be due to the lack of umpires. There are always 100 umpires in the stands and the coaches also become umpires as well! I encourage every single person that complains to go to their local High School Athletic Association and take the test and go but equipment and get out there so the shortage of umpires won't be a problem. I get it, I do... Some officials are better than others. Keep in mind to get better requires experience and more of it! The umpires that seem terrible more than likely new at officiating. I'm sure they love the sport or they wouldn't be doing it. You sure don't get rich officiating sports until maybe college and major league level. If the coaches would be more encouraging and provide constructive criticism in a professional one on one manner would help the officials and the game. I truly believe the consequences for coaches that berate, belittle, and also cuss the officials should be significantly increased. When the organizations start cracking down on the coaches they may see an increase of officials. Where I'm at and the state I live in the High School baseball beginning this year will have one official calling the game at times due to umpire shortages within the local associations. Some games have already been threatened with cancellations because there aren't enough officials to call the games throughout the region. It's coming to this in every state if not already there in many of them!

I’m an umpire, this plate umpire was not in a good position to see the zone. Should work on mechanics and zone in middle school and JV. Plus his timing is too quick. Gotta wait to make those strike calls. Slow down, see it twice (with his eyes and then process it again in his mind) then make the strike/ball call.

Then baseball will turn into football & basketball. Come on people all we have left is baseball in the south. Don’t let it get like the other two sports.

Regardless of if calls were bad, I see a player that should have been ejected for drawing a line on a strike 3 call and two coaches that should have been ejected, one for arguing balls and strikes and one for continuing to argue and yell after a ruling was made. Maybe if coaches and players showed a little more self control and stopped being over emotional, better umpires would still be calling. There’s a reason there’s a nation wide shortage for officials. You act like an ass to the good ones and run them off, you’re left with the bad ones.

@itissoldier78379 ай бұрын
I can already tell this games peace and skill is too advanced for this umpire. One of the best things you can do is watch the plate umpires routine to see how experienced they are. The biggest tell is to watch when they get into the slot that's the crouch position they get into as a pitch comes in. An unexperienced/green umpire always gets in to the slot extremely early a.k.a. what this guys doing. This can work in slow paced games but when you get good quality catchers the big difference is that the catcher isn't going to set up until the pitcher starts his motion and they're gonna slide with the pitch. If you get down too early then the catcher is gonna slide right in front of you and block the pitch which is most likely what happens with a lot of these borderline calls where the umpire probably couldn't even see the pitch because he's down too soon. Just bad mechanics always leads to bad calls and frustrated fans and coaches.
@Oshujax218 ай бұрын
As an umpire myself, sometimes you have catchers move up or back on you before the pitch is in, and it can throw you off rhythm when you have a pitcher that works fast. It's definitely tricky to find the sweet spot or get used to a catcher's routine when you're back behind the plate, especially when you have to remember two different catchers and how both operate. That said, there's a lot more things I can tell from the umpire's perspective that tell he doesn't have much experience aside from how he sets up behind the catcher.
@itissoldier78378 ай бұрын
@@Oshujax21 100% catchers all have rhythms with their pitchers exactly why you wait for the pitcher to be fully lifted before getting to the slot to be able to get to that point with the catcher and work as a unit with him. There's some give-and-take there but a catcher should always be able to adjust to an umpire to allow them to make the calls. At times where you're constantly getting pushed out of the slot that's on the catcher not the umpire. At that point you just call balls constantly and then talk to the catcher/ coaches of why you keep calling balls. "It's a give-and-take but if the catcher keeps taken then you ain't gonna give." Fun little quote from one of my vet umpires always likes to say when working with new guys on plate mechanics. There's a ton of things you can look at and see that the pacing of this game is way too advanced for this umpire. Usually I go to tell for the plate is when they get into the slot. I can pick several easy things off this guy in the very first hit where he has his hands on his knee acting like a foul tip ain't gonna break a finger. Taking his mask off with his right hand and signaling a safe sign on the ball that went over centers head. As umpires we can see these things but if fans are looking one of the biggest things you can watch is when the umpire gets into the crouch position (slot) at the point of a pitch. This guy is already half crouch down before the pitchers even set not to mention he's not really getting to the slot either to get those low pitches. Just needs more training.
@pierrel26399 ай бұрын
The homeplate umpire was terrible, I think that goes without saying. He also didn't seem to be paying much attention when everyone else was giving their best efforts on the field. Yeah, it's high school baseball but he looked like a bad Pony League umpire. I'd like to share my perspective as a European baseball fan that's getting more into college/high school channels. It's really cool to see good young players progress their careers to the next stage in real time and I think it's great for the kids to get this sort of exposure. After watching tons of these videos though, I am incredibly embarrassed by the parents and many of the coaches... especially in the south of the United States like here. Even the coach was completely indignant about the foul ball he thought touched the batter outside the box in like the 3rd inning (he was in the box btw). I understand part of it is fighting for your team. But some of the behavior is so disrespectful and cowardly. Why has it been allowed to get to this stage? This is hardly the worst case I've seen, but seeing the title of the vid prompted me to make this comment. It makes me not want to watch high school sports anymore.
