+Zachary Windsor Having graduated from Major League Umpire school in a previous life I can tell you they have neither, it's all about positioning. The late John McSherry told us that if you set up at the correct angle, you can make the correct call from 90 feet away, if you have the incorrect angle, you can be 15 feet away and completely blow the call. That is why robots will never work and why even slow motion can be deceptive. It's all about setting up at a 90* angle to the throw.
+George Jetson I don't think you've been paying much attention to that. with the new "box" graphic that the TV has you are finding that they are much more consistent on Balls and strikes than they used to be. Most fans don't realize that the strike zone is actually three dimensional, not two dimensional, which adds to the difficulty.
There’s a very well made informative RU-vid video just about this topic called “What Bad Umpiring Looks Like” by Baseball Bits and how accurate Umpires have been when it comes to Balls and Strikes over the years. I know these replies are old but I just wanted to make this comment so other people can see it because it’s true, the strike IS actually three dimensional and this videos goes in depth on the topic

This is easily the most underrated channel out there. Only 16k subs? Thats absolute bullshit for all the work this guy probably puts into finding these videos and editing
I love plays like these, but these are always the hardest plays for the umps, you really have to have a good eye to see these and it is always tough after you make the call. A lot of times people just assume that because the ball got there before the runner, the runner is out, but a lot of times the fielder doesn't make a good tag, the runner slides under it or they come up with innovative slides
Wow, this channel is awesome! Awesome videos and we can actually hear the noise of the crowd, and their reactions. So glad you don't have music on these videos, it would ruin them so much! Keep up the great videos man! You've earned yourself a sub!
you're missing Rizzo's slide into third from last year (or 2 years ago. not exactly sure). That one was pretty awesome as well. And talking about Cubs players, Baez had a swim move slide into 2nd on a steal, similar to Trout's, yesterday ;)
Gostei do video, de verdade! Não para de fazer, com o tempo a gente aprende um monte de coisa novas e evolui muito... parabéns pelo trabalho, até mais!
Amazing plays... Two questions on 2 of those plays... On Hamilton's bunt, perfect, he avoided the tag, however in the slide he missed contact with the base while the first baseban is touching it. I'm not sure, but that is an out, right?... And I also would like to know (By rule, of course), What's the criteria (if there is any) to go around over the running line? (Hamilton invading infield, Aoki avoiding Turner's tag, Harrison invading infield)... Thanks...
Daniel Zylberberg Yeah this vid's missing Ichiro's 2 Ninja moves (the second one as a Marlin in 2015). The one against Baltimore I've watched at least 10 times. He dances around the tag attempts of the catcher. Magical.
