The umpire doesn’t decide if it’s strike three... Buster Posey does.

A great catcher will make a decent pitcher an all star

Posey after a strikeout

Pro tip: lots of umpires make verb call before making physical signal of the call.

True… but every single pitch that was thrown in this video was a strike to begin with. So it wasn’t like he was changing the umps mind.

This is a good time to inform everybody once again that Buster Posey is a first ballot HOF

Lot of umpires will say a small "strike three" before they give the actual call. I know I always did. Probably not the case on all of these but certainly possible.

Pretty sure these batters are the ones who decided it would be strike 3, lol.

Now do Brandon belt deciding if it was ball 4

The umps probably quietly said strike 3 before they signaled it. They do that a lot

@shegone03 what happened to this framing?!?! Simple stick the pitches with both knees up and not moving the glove 3-4 feet back to the middle of the strike zone! Miss those days!
