What is most impressive is the lack of reaction to a fastball straight to the chest. But yes, I believe Ump was trolling that catcher a bit on this one.
Most definitely. The umpires line up on the inside of the plate, so that was a fastball maybe 2 or 3 inches inside of the plate, and the catcher couldn't even catch it. Like you have 1 job, and your getting a scholarship for that? As an umpire I probably would have trolled him even longer because its pretty funny when the catcher misses balls they should have caught and cant find them
@@rileyesmay what I'd it wasn't supposed to be a inside high fastball and he was ready for a low curve or another pitch then it would make more sense. And I doubt you are as good as him
It’s not “umpire interference,” it’s a “lodged ball in the catchers equipment/paraphernalia or the umpire’s equipment/paraphernalia.” Umpire Interference sends the runners back to the bases they occupied at the time of the pitch IF a runner is not retired on a play-attempted play by the catcher. This is a base award to the runners for a ball that goes out of play.
great analysis of actual baseball rules. I love Jomboy but if fans were actually educated on the rules, they wouldn't hate on umpires so much. Fans and commentators more than likely have never read a word from an official rulebook. ball goes out of play (including lodging in umpires gear) from a pitch, each runner is awarded one base.
Yeah. He definitely felt it hit him in the chest but I dont think he realized it was in his pocket at first. I think he spotted the last time he looked down just before raising his hand.
Once while catching, a ball went underneath my chest guard. My adrenaline and slight panic Didn't allow me to feel it lodged in there. Kept looking and looking, and thought I was actually crazy until it fell out from my gear.
True. From the comments, I feel that the vast majority of viewers don't watch baseball, so these videos are perfect for us as they are short and only get to the good parts.
You're right! 2-5 minute breakdowns of a single moment in a baseball game is exactly the same as watching 3 hours of a live baseball game. There is absolutely no difference!
I was umpiring last night and had a coach bitching about a ball stuck in the backstop and that the runner shouldn't have scored. He scores! Pretty much any ball wedged is essentially out of play and everyone advances a base
In my high school game the ball got stuck in the wired fence at eye level and we had a guy on third. The ball easily cam out of the fence if you tried to grab it but the ump sent the runner back to third. He was the walk off run and he did not score that inning. Luckily that same runner had the walk off hit by pitch 2 innings later.
Fairfield won their first 27 games before they suffered their first loss. It took them their first 25 before they were finally ranked in the Top 25 because of their rather weak schedule and that every one of their games at the time except for one was against conference opponents. But I'm happy they still reached the baseball tournament and even won at least 1 game before their elimination.
Think of this as a ball going out of play. Any time it gets stuck in anything (equipment, fence, uniform), it's out of play. Same as a wild throw going into the dugout. Runners advance. 1 from the rubber, 2 from the field.
I had this happen to me once. You can't actually feel the ball going into the pocket because it happens so fast after impacting the chest protector. You also can't feel the ball's weight tugging on the shirt because the chest protector is between your undershirt and the pocket. The catcher saw it about 5 seconds later.
"I know, hold on, stay still." Love it. Note to the catcher: "Now the secret to this game is, no matter what happens, never, ever, take your eye off the ball."
Poor dude got hit in the face as he tried to dive for it... so close that stings. Maybe they should have the ump play cause we know he can catch with his chest.
I remember when I was younger my dad used to catch for me when I would practice pitching. Ball ricocheted off the catchers mitt and went right into his shirt pocket. Cool memory with the old man
1:23 The angle and directional spin of the ball was such that it depressed the chest protector just enough to peel the pocket open and slide right in there. Incredible.
Jomboy, can you please breakdown the Drew Gilbert Walkoff in Tennessee's Regional, for us Tennessee fans we have to cherish it before football season, and it was very exciting.
Looked like the catcher was going to start patting the ump down...too funny.. And if the ball hits any ump, they are considered part of the field, but home plate ump, I didn't know, but do now...great clip Jomboy 🇺🇸
Was at the Game. This was the NCAA Austin Regional, Game 5 (both were 1-1 facing elimination). Sitting behind the play it was clear the ball didn't go to the backstop and appeared the catcher was trying to fool the runner into advancing. Talk about being totally confused about what the hell was going on. After the game, had to look up the rules for clarification. The dead ball rule for umpire interference would not have advanced the runners. There is a specific rule regarding a thrown ball being stuck in equipment. That one does call for the runners advancing.
It's most likely a cross up or pitcher error. It's not necessarily the catcher's fault when he is expecting a ball down the center, but it ends up being a fastball that's high and in.
I would like to congratulate the umpire for understanding the situation then quickly and clearly applying the correct ruling. He managed a rare and difficult situation with professionalism.
The spin on the ball allowed the stitches to catch as it rolled down his chest so it stretched the fabric of the pocket seam on the way in as it spun down
Second time I've seen a ball go into an ump's shirt. I remember there being a clip from MLB a decade or two ago where a pitch went wild, bounced off the ground and into the ump's shirt
Blue definitely felt the ball. He looks all around, because he thinks it bounced off of him. When the ball isn't found on the ground he realizes it must be on his person.
Literally the day after this happened a ball was missed by the catcher and went right into the umpire's pant pocket and everyone didn't know where it was
A couple years ago in a scrimmage my friend on the other team was wearing a sweatshirt, and the ball was thrown directly into the pocket. When the catcher and ump looked around he casually pulled it out and handed it to the catcher.

He didn’t take it straight to the chest. He took it straight to the giant chest pad.
@@rileyesmay Dude closed his eyes and looked away. Not surprised he didn't catch it. Surprised he catches anything.
@@rileyesmay no indication at all this player is on scholarship. A lot of NCAA athletes don't get scholarships.
It’s not “umpire interference,” it’s a “lodged ball in the catchers equipment/paraphernalia or the umpire’s equipment/paraphernalia.” Umpire Interference sends the runners back to the bases they occupied at the time of the pitch IF a runner is not retired on a play-attempted play by the catcher.

You should be the official Jomboy rules analyst.

@@ajwernert21 I appreciate that, but I’m no expert. Lol
I bet you're great at parties
Ump looks around like he doesn’t know where it is after it hit him 80+mph square in the chest
Pain-numbing drugs. Would explain a lot of calls made in the bigs.
Yeah. He definitely felt it hit him in the chest but I dont think he realized it was in his pocket at first. I think he spotted the last time he looked down just before raising his hand.
Weird how no one realizes umps chests aren't actually that flat naturally. They are wearing a thick ass pad under that shirt.
Because 100 out of 100 times when it hits you in the chest in bounces off and rolls away somewhere.
actually the battery near the ends points it out to the ump that it was in his pocket. @2.41
Ump was definitely trying to play it cool lol he knew as soon as he looked down the first time
🤣🤣🤣 dude got exposed so hard nobody can hide from jomboy
How tf would you not feel it lol
Yup! Ump was waiting to see how long the catcher would need to find it. He didn't do the runner would have had time to advance!
idek why he plays it cool lol. just say ope haha here it is!
I think he looks around for it to buy time because he was trying to remember the ruling
The catcher musta thought he’d lost his mind when he absolutely *could not* locate that ball.
Once while catching, a ball went underneath my chest guard. My adrenaline and slight panic Didn't allow me to feel it lodged in there. Kept looking and looking, and thought I was actually crazy until it fell out from my gear.
Jomboy: Where you can watch baseball without actually watching baseball
Genius marketing, honestly
True. From the comments, I feel that the vast majority of viewers don't watch baseball, so these videos are perfect for us as they are short and only get to the good parts.
@@narata1541 these videos are practically my source to whatever’s going on in the mlb. Literally all I watch though. 🤣👎🏼

Why does it sound like jomboy has been recording in a bathroom lately?
This is the umpire equivalent of finding a $20 in your winter coat pocket
Didn't think I'd see the Borderlands guy on a Jomboy video lol
Yoooo Killer SIx
Crossover of my two favorite passtimes
What are you doing here? Lol.
You have no idea how happy it makes me to see you comment on a jomboy video
The most surprising thing about this breakdown is actually jomboy’s lack of comment about the pitcher’s facial hair situation
Right? And their team name is THE STAGS?! That's some grade A+ manliness.
Good catch. Guy looks like a 12 year old dressing up as his Harley-riding dad for Halloween lmfao.

There should be a bullseye on the ump’s pocket and getting the ball in the pocket means the inning is immediately over #blernsball
Multiball! Multiball!
Wizzy wam wam wozzle
Next thing you know, catchers are “accidentally” missing pitches up in the zone...
@@SomeSortOfLandCow BLERRRRRRRRRRRRRRN
For Angel Hernandez and Joe West the bullseye needs to be on face mask.

"Fairfield came back and won. They won 28 games in a row! I think they lost this one."
LOL, did they win or not?
Fairfield won their first 27 games before they suffered their first loss. It took them their first 25 before they were finally ranked in the Top 25 because of their rather weak schedule and that every one of their games at the time except for one was against conference opponents. But I'm happy they still reached the baseball tournament and even won at least 1 game before their elimination.
I was looking for this i was wondering the same thing 😂
They won this game, 9-7. June 6, 2021. fairfieldstags.com/sports/baseball/stats/2021/arizona-state/boxscore/10569
Batter: "It's in your pocket!"
Umpire: "No $hit college boy, I'm way ahead of you."
Today on stats that don't matter but we know them anyway: Number of times a pitcher has pitched a ball directly into the umpires pocket: at least one.
I don't know if 'at least one' (or in other words, 'not zero') can be considered a statistic...
You are a HUGE reason I love baseball, keep up the amazing work you do!
Based on this, I now want Jomboy to do a breakdown on the JFK assassination “magic bullet”.
magical third row seating :):):)

knew this breakdown was coming
Hmm. Ball in pocket. Pocket ball. Poké ball. This ump has become Ash Ketchum.
Children’s hockey fights a breakdown
Oh yes please jomboy, do it
Woah what is this a thing?
@@KIrbyTheFlrst yeah search it up on UA-cam
That pitcher should be playing pool.
My wife showed me this before you did, and I told her it was definitely going to be on Jomboy for a breakdown.
"I know, hold on, stay still." Love it. Note to the catcher: "Now the secret to this game is, no matter what happens, never, ever, take your eye off the ball."
One in a million chances of that happening...."weird,wild and coooool" jomboy 2021
The catcher looked like my dog when I pretend to throw the ball and hide it behind my back.
This happened a few weeks ago, but could you do a breakdown on the Oregon’s pitcher balking the winning run in regionals against LSU?
Fairfield seems to have a difficult time catching the ball
Poor dude got hit in the face as he tried to dive for it... so close that stings. Maybe they should have the ump play cause we know he can catch with his chest.
I think center lost it in the sun the way he awkwardly slid like that.
That was absolutely hilarious…and the ump helped him look for it😂🤣😂🤣

Jomboy is the inside nba of baseball, I haven't watched a single baseball game but I'm following the most important events vicariously through Jomboy
Catcher's face at 2:01 was priceless!
Y'all going to do the Altuve Grand Slam walk-off in extra innings?
I rarely watch baseball but never miss a Jomboy Breakdown. These are just way more entertaining than the actual game.👍
Never did I think Jomboy would do a breakdown of my town's university baseball team, Fairfield. Well done as always!
Search UA-cam for "umpire's pocket". It also happened in 2016 at a Padres-Pirates game.
Also 2019 at a Cubs game.
2:45 my favorite quote ever. You should do commercials for 90's squirt guns.
1:23 The angle and directional spin of the ball was such that it depressed the chest protector just enough to peel the pocket open and slide right in there. Incredible.
you should bring back the wacky sports breakdowns.
"Prince Zuko, you're never going to believe this... the ball was in my pocket the whole time!"
Was just listening to the talkin baseball podcast and saw this so have to watch this real quick
The pitchers “stache”…👌🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾
Hahaha man I love these fukin break downs truth keep it real my bro !
The way you broke down the magic trick had me dyin😂🤣
Jomboy, can you please breakdown the Drew Gilbert Walkoff in Tennessee's Regional, for us Tennessee fans we have to cherish it before football season, and it was very exciting.
Looked like the catcher was going to start patting the ump down...too funny..
And if the ball hits any ump, they are considered part of the field, but home plate ump, I didn't know, but do now...great clip Jomboy 🇺🇸
Not kidding, this is the third time this week I see a video about this exact thing happening

Crazy thing is this might be the most exciting thing you saw in baseball yesterday
That was weird, wild and cool.
What I don't understand is why is the catcher closing his eyes and looking away? No wonder he had no idea where it went.
Bruh I can't be high and watch Jomboy. 😂 straight giggling
The catcher told him after they looked around. He said its on you or is it on you and the ump stopped immediately and put his hand up
The long and short of it is... it's a wild pitch (or a passed ball, your call) that left the field of play. Good call.
Catcher got caught looking the wrong way. The ball is going to his left and he's turning to the right.
“Weird, wild, and cooooooooool…” 🎶
-Jomboy-
The runners wouldn’t have advanced if the catcher would have did his job.
*done
It's most likely a cross up or pitcher error. It's not necessarily the catcher's fault when he is expecting a ball down the center, but it ends up being a fastball that's high and in.
the second “would” is out of place. “… if the catcher had done his job”, like Mathew Fullerton suggested, sounds better.
@@lucas29476 you guys are right. But, he should have still caught the ball.
@@VolsPride Maybe if he would have watched the ball instead of looking away?
jomboys ability to report on any & all life occurrences is phenomenal to say the least. idk how he does it.
I would like to congratulate the umpire for understanding the situation then quickly and clearly applying the correct ruling. He managed a rare and difficult situation with professionalism.
The catchers reaction is the best
Hey Jomboy that Dodger Phillies game ending on strike 2 deserves a breakdown! lol
I literally don't even watch baseball. I just watch Jomboy. All the time.
So cool that Jomboy did a breakdown of my Alma Mater's game
Thanks.
Love these vids
You’re my favorite UA-camr now
This is the baseball equivalent of that one scene from high school of the dead
Wow that doesn’t even seem possible
Catcher lookin’ like my cat when I turn off the laser pointer.
I saw something like this on Instagram. Forgot who was playing, but it thankfully happened while no one was on base.

Jomboy for President
There are 100s of hours of baseball every week. I don’t watch any of it. Jomboy shows me the 5-9 minutes a day I need to watch.
Second time I've seen a ball go into an ump's shirt. I remember there being a clip from MLB a decade or two ago where a pitch went wild, bounced off the ground and into the ump's shirt
The way the umpire hid the ball from everybody right up until the big reveal was awesome.
Blue definitely felt the ball. He looks all around, because he thinks it bounced off of him. When the ball isn't found on the ground he realizes it must be on his person.
I saw this happen in a kick ball game.. really crazy
the audio on this is a nice throwback to the early days
For a second I thought he was gonna drop the ball and say, "Play on!"
"Looks sketchy, no it is weird wild and cool." This sentence is exactly why I'm watching baseball again, it's good for the brain.
Never before and never again
Wow. The ball grazes the bottom of the catcher's mitt giving the ball just enough downward angle and top spin to dig into the pocket.
I've seen that happen before in cricket but this is the first time i've seen it in baseball.
Literally the day after this happened a ball was missed by the catcher and went right into the umpire's pant pocket and everyone didn't know where it was
Kudos to the person who sewed that pocket!
“I don’t understand it, I don’t understand the science of it.” Even though I was thinking the same thing, I laughed so hard when he said that.
Love how the ump is looking around like he doesn’t know where it is
A couple years ago in a scrimmage my friend on the other team was wearing a sweatshirt, and the ball was thrown directly into the pocket. When the catcher and ump looked around he casually pulled it out and handed it to the catcher.
Crazy stuff happening here
Wassup with that out call 😂
As a Mets fan I think we need… Marsineck gets waived around third and it’s not even close… a breakdown…. Just saying lol
There IS one ☝️thing we do know!! Hell of a job stitching that pocket on. That’s craftsmanship. Shouts out to those guys and gals!!
