Mark Ripperger apparently doesn’t miss.
The MLB umpire Ripperger pulled off a really spectacular feat on Thursday in the course of the Kansas Metropolis Royals-Minnesota Twins recreation. Ripperger was behind house plate for the competition and managed to name a “excellent recreation.”
Out of the 136 pitches taken in the course of the recreation, Ripperger referred to as each single one accurately (per umpire database Umpire Scorecards). He additionally referred to as all 89 true balls accurately and all 47 true strikes accurately.
With the stainless outing, Ripperger turned simply the second MLB umpire within the Umpire Scorecards period (since 2015) to show in a “excellent recreation.” Pat Hoberg was the primary to take action, pulling off the feat within the 2022 World Collection between the Houston Astros and Philadelphia Phillies.
