MLB Ejection 01 - Jordan Baker (1; Derek Holland)

HP Umpire Jordan Baker ejected Pirates pitcher/bench player Derek Holland (ball three call; QOCY) in the bottom of the 3rd inning of the #Pirates-#Cardinals game. With one out and none on, Cardinals batter Lane Thomas took a 2-1 fastball from Pirates pitcher Mitch Keller for a called third ball. Replays indicate the pitch was located over the outer half of home plate and below the hollow of the knee (px 0.51, pz 1.07 [sz_bot 1.53]) and that all other callable pitches during the half inning preceding ejection were properly officiated, the call was correct.* At the time of the ejection, the game was tied, 0-0. The Pirates ultimately won the contest, 5-1.

This is Jordan Baker (71)'s first ejection of the 2020 MLB regular season.
Jordan Baker now has 4 points in the UEFL Standings (0 Prev + 2 MLB + 2 Correct Call = 4).
Crew Chief Jerry Meals now has 0 points in Crew Division (-1 Previous + 1 Correct Call = 0).
*This pitch was located 6.52 vertical inches from being deemed an incorrect call.

This is the 1st player ejection of 2020. Prior to ejection, Holland did not appear in the game.
This is Pittsburgh's 1st ejection of 2020, 1st in the NL Central (PIT 1; CHC, CIN, MIL, STL 0).
