During Game 3 of the 2025 World Series between the Toronto Blue Jays and the Los Angeles Dodgers, home plate umpire Mark Wegner made a delayed strike call that drew big reaction.
Specifically, in the second inning, with a full count on Daulton Varsho, Wegner called a pitch a strike when many felt it was clearly outside the zone. The batter had already begun jogging toward first base assuming a walk. The call disrupted the Blue Jays’ momentum; Varsho ended up walking a pitch later, but the leadoff base runner situation changed because Bo Bichette, the next batter, had already took off for second when the call was made.
