Umpiring is a thankless job. You catch all of the heat when you fail and none of the praise for succeeding. Most jobs have a relatively low threshold for failure, but humans are entitled to mistakes, unlike umpires who face extreme scrutiny for every call.
Umpire Gabe Morales called 99.4% of taken pitches accurately during Tuesday’s game. He missed just one out of 174 pitches, highlighting the rarity of exceptional umpiring performances.
Only one umpire, Pat Hoberg, has called a perfect game according to Ump Scorecards, making Morales's achievement stand out even more in the context of umpiring history.
