If you think Patrick Wisdom has been jobbed on a lot of called third strikes this season, I’m here to tell you that you’re not wrong.
Through Wednesday’s game, Wisdom has struck out 126 times in 317 plate appearances. That’s a lot, granted. Of those 126, 29 were called third strikes.
And of those 29, video and MLB Gameday evidence shows Wisdom was robbed on nine of them. Here are the nine I found in the list of all 29 of Wisdom’s called strikeouts this year.
