The Yankees slugger ended the eighth inning on a disappointing note.
New York Yankees star slugger Juan Soto found himself on the wrong side of the plate—and the wrong side of the umpires—in Sunday’s game against the Atlanta Braves.
At the bottom of the eighth, Soto appeared to try to call a timeout with two strikes. His request came too late and wasn’t granted by home plate umpire Chris Conroy, leading Braves pitcher Joe Jimenez to strike Soto out with a pitch down the middle while Soto’s back was turned.June 23, 2024 In the replay, it looked as though Jimenez had already started his wind-up by the time Soto called time, albeit the call does appear to be very close. A batter can request a timeout from the umpire once per plate appearance but must do so before the pitcher’s motion has begun.Boone said
. “I looked at it—it’s close. I get it from Chris’ standpoint, it’s really close, but he did say it before he rose up.”Kristen Wong is a Staff Writer on the Breaking & Trending News Team at Sports Illustrated.
