MLB Ejection 047 - Steven Jaschinski (1; John Schneider)

[Lindsay]

HP Umpire Steven Jaschinski ejected Blue Jays manager John Schneider (step balk call on Jeff Hoffman; QOCY) in the top of the 8th inning of the #Yankees-#BlueJays game. With one out and one on, Yankees batter Max Scheumann took a 1-0 slider from Blue Jays pitcher Hoffman for a called strike as Yankees baserunner R1 Jazz Chisholm stole second base. On the ensuing pitch, pitcher Hoffman faked a pickoff throw to second base, but was called for a balk by HP Umpire Jaschinski. Replays indicate pitcher Hoffman failed to step directly toward second base before feigning to that base, the call was correct.* At the time of the ejection, the game was tied, 3-3. The Yankees ultimately won the contest, 8-3.

This is Steven Jaschinski (65)'s 1st ejection of 2026.

*Official Baseball Rule 6.02(a)(3): "If there is a runner, or runners, it is a balk when the pitcher, while touching their plate, fails to step directly toward a base before throwing to that base."

MLB Umpire Manual: "NOTE: The pitcher is required to step directly toward a base when feinting a

throw to a base (Under current rules, the only base a pitcher may feint to is second)"

This is the 47th ejection report of the 2026 MLB regular season.

This is the 28th manager ejection of 2026. Ejection Tally: 28 Managers, 5 Coaches, 14 Players.
