MLB Ejection 035 - Doug Eddings (2; Steven Souza)

HP Umpire Doug Eddings ejected Diamondbacks RF Steven Souza Jr. (strike three call; QOCY) in the bottom of the 8th inning of the Nationals-D'Backs game. With two out and one on (R1), Souza took a 2-0 fastball from Nationals pitcher Shawn Kelley for a called first strike and a 3-2 fastball for a called third strike. Replays indicate the 2-0 pitch was located over the outer half of home plate and at the hollow of the knee (px .389, pz 1.637) while the 3-2 pitch was located over the inner half of home plate and at the hollow of the knee (px -.449, pz 1.565 [sz_bot 1.627 / MOE 1.544]), the call was correct. At the time of the ejection, the Nationals were leading, 2-1. The Nationals ultimately won the contest, 2-1.
