Umpire Quinn Wolcott Called A Very Poor Game On Saturday Night, Including Making The Wrong Call On All 5 Pitches In One At-Bat

Quinn Wolcott, the home plate umpire in Saturday night's Red Sox/Rays game, had a poor night. As you can see from the graphics below, Wolcott especially had no conception of the lower part of the strike zone. (Actually, when lefties were batting, he wasn't all that clear about the top portion, either.)

At Brooks Baseball, only pitches called by the umpire (i.e., balls and called strikes) are charted.

Pitches marked as belonging to a particular team are designated with different shapes. These teams represent the pitching team, not the batting team. So, a pitch marked "bos-called strike" was thrown by a Boston pitcher.
