Three of the worst-rated umpires in Major League Baseball have one thing in common
Fox News • • sports
Key Points:
- The second half of the MLB season resumes tonight, ending a three-day break without baseball.
- Three veteran umpires—Laz Diaz, Brian O'Nora, and CB Bucknor—are retiring at the end of the season, all of whom are among the worst-performing umpires this year.
- According to umpscorecards.com, Bucknor has the lowest accuracy rate in the league at 91.33%, while Diaz and O'Nora have accuracy rates just over 92%.
- Seven umpires in total have accepted buyouts and will retire at the end of the season, with others like Lance Barksdale and Marvin Hudson also ranking poorly but not as badly as the retiring trio.
- The article suggests their poor performance may be due to being past their primes or "senioritis" as they approach retirement.
