That segment when you discussed Hoberg aligning himself with the catcher should be part of every umpires annual training.

[chettywap]

It’s honestly insane that it’s even possible to be this accurate considering on every close pitch the catcher is basically trying to lie to you and it has to be tiring bending down and keeping focus just like a player for a full nine innings with less of a break than anyone else on the field

jimmy editing his face into other faces will never stop being nightmare fuel, and I love it

[werther]

What makes this even more impressive is that he did so against two of the very best framing catchers in the game

[Googleboots]

Jomboy low-key making us watch every pitch of the game without us realizing it 🤣

[Greggery]

What a superstar! It's so easy to shit on bad umpires but when you see one who's doing his job well, no one notices. This guy deserves all the praise he gets and I hope he gets more

[sevenmoons]

was hoping this would get recognized, what a game for Hoberg, part of a good list of newer umpires in the league. not all umpires are as bad as Angel, guys!

[RileyHDD]

Can we get this man a raise or something! Played baseball for 12 years and this was fantastic to watch, especially during the world series.

[christiancarino]

The amount of work that went into this breakdown is incredible.

[Petey.V]

Keep glorifying umpires doing a good job🗣️

[CaptCKernel]

"Balls that ANYONE would call a ball" is quite prophetic after coming here after Angel Hernandez blew those calls

[grantthebroadcaster]

My mom has a friend who is best buds with Pat so he sent me some of his gear and we are still in touch. It was awesome to see him have such a great performance

The Estimated Umpire Strike Zone (EUZ) generates the consistency rating that Jomboy mentioned a few times through the video. It consideres all the pitches that the umpire called strikes and tries to draw the strike zone based on those calls. The program trying to draw this zone doesn't know what the strike zone actually looks like though, so for really well called games it can get funky. If no pitchers in a game pitch high and away then the EUZ will have a big hole high and away because it believes that a pitch there wouldn't have gotten called for a strike simply because there were no strikes thrown in that spot.

The consistency rating really doesn't matter for very well called games, since it's based on the EUZ, which struggles to properly rate well called games.

When Jomboy mentions any of the pitches that "go against the way he called the rest of the game" he's referring to pitches in the EUZ that were called balls and pitches outside of the EUZ called strikes. Usually this can cause troubles since the EUZ will leave holes in the strike zone if not a lot of pitches are thrown to that spot, and it will extend the strike zone if a lot of pitches are thrown to that spot.

congrats to that man for giving other umps a good name, people dont understand how hard it is to call games at professional speed

[matthewmeadows]

The amount of effort Jomboy puts into editing and commentating on these videos even though he's so successful is amazing. Also great job blue!

I’m a Phillies fan, when I was watching this game I found that I wasn’t frustrated in the slightest despite them losing, I didn’t understand why until someone pointed out how good he was. It is truly amazing how frustrating the umpires make the game when your team can’t hit.

[captainnutsack]

As a Phillies fan I watched most of the WS, and I was extremely impressed with every home plate umpire. Nothing egregious, in my eyes, the whole series. They got some really close calls correct without hesitation. Kudos to the umps who worked this series.

[colegreene]

I remember watching this game and by the 4th inning I kept thinking this guy hadn’t missed a single call. Glad to see him getting recognition

[TheTEN]

What an incredible performance need to give credit when credit is due

[KevinSun]

I gotta say, Jomboy's really made me appreciate baseball more with how in-depth he goes with his analysis.
