Oh, that's why most people don't like umpires. We never call 1-pitch Ks.

 

I'm going to get 9+ innings in both 2 hour games I've got today, and everyone will love me!

Good call by Ronnie. He is an instructor at TUS and this was textbook in my opinion. You can see him point to the box and say something three times before he calls the first penalty strike and you see one directive before the video shows the pitcher then he calls the third strike, the second penalty strike. This is exactly how it was taught in the cage by him and the other MiLB instructors.

Good call and good ejection.
