MLB Ump Ángel Hernández Left Announcers In Awe With So Many Awful Calls in Dodgers-Marlins

Ángel Hernández Dodgers Marlins MLB Angel Hernandez

Embattled umpire Ángel Hernández had another brutal night behind the plate Wednesday, producing some hilarious reactions from broadcasters in the process.

Hernández had home plate responsibilities for the Marlins’ matchup with the Dodgers and, as usual, missed plenty of calls. According to Umpire Scorecard, less than 80% of the pitches he called strikes were actually in the zone, and Umpire Auditor counted 18 total missed calls on the night for the much-maligned Hernández. 

A few of those misses generated priceless reactions from both teams’ broadcasters, including an exasperated sigh from the Dodgers booth and a, “That was a called strike, huh?” from the Marlins’ crew.

Those misses continue a brutal year for Hernández, whose ineptitude calling balls and strikes remains hard to fathom. He has more than 12 calls in five of his six times behind home plate this season, a mark topped in just 24% of total games umpired across the sport, per Codify Baseball.

While his misses are no longer new news, fans still went out of their way to chide Hernández on social media after another bad night.
