Discussion of the 2017 World Series

The UEFL's 2017 World Series discussion is now open.

Home plate umpire performance is listed following the completion of each contest according to pitch f/x and UEFL Rules 6-2-b-a (horizontal bound, "Kulpa Rule") and 6-2-b-b (vertical strike zone, "Miller Rule"). New: 2017 Review Affirmation Percentage (RAP) rank is listed in parentheses next to each plate umpire's name (RAP). For instance, "Umpire A (3)" would signify that Umpire A had the third-highest RAP score in 2017. For more about RAP, see Instant Replay Review Statistics 101: Week 1 Sabermetrics.

Callable pitches (which excludes all swinging strikes, fair and foul balls, HBPs, and pitchouts) are organized by type: "ball" or "called strike."

For instance, if a line score reads "34/36 Strikes," that signifies that of 36 total pitches ruled "strike" 34 were officiated correctly, while two pitches called "strike" were located outside of the strike zone.

- 10/24 HOU@LAD Gm 1: Phil Cuzzi (11): pfx. 72/75 Balls + 44/47 Strikes = 116/122 = 95.1%. +0.
- 10/25 HOU@LAD Gm 2: Paul Nauert (34): pfx. 111/115 Balls + 42/51 Strikes = 153/166 = 92.2%. +3 HOU.
