MLB Twitter (X, whatever) is fond of ripping on umpire Angel Hernandez, particularly when he’s behind the plate calling balls and strikes. It’s taken on a life of its own.
But thanks to @UmpireAuditor, we know something: That Dan Iassogna — he’s gotten plenty of grief for calls too — had a worse game than Hernandez did this season in Thursday’s Philadelphia Phillies and Arizona Diamondbacks NLCS contest.
According to their metrics, he made the right call 89.3 percent of the time in Game 3. Yuck.
@UmpScorecards had him at 91 percent, which is a little better, but still. Not great!
Here are some of the lowlights and some grades:
Umpire Dan Iassogna missed 14 calls in #NLCS game 3 #Diamondbacks v #Phillies.
He had a correct call rate of 89.4%. For context, last place Angel Hernandez had a correct call rate of 90.4%. https://t.co/QitKst2XEU pic.twitter.com/UbCQSb5e8y
