Umpires ejected Husky first baseman for excessive celebration after a home run. Not sure what got him tossed, carrying the bat halfway down first baseline with a mild bat flip or hand swipe underline of huskies across his chest, either way I have seen more exuberant celebration from our guys so something to watch out for this year.

My thought is that it has to be the bringing the bat most of the way to first. Only other thing is meeting teammates on the plate instead of crossing and meeting them outside the box.
Maybe it was a combo effect. You can get away with one of those but all 3 and you're out.
The hand swipe was directed toward the UW dugout not the opposing team.
Weak by the umps on a game-tying homer.
I had just posted the same thing in Rotating Tap so I deleted that one!

Ejected for " not playing the game the right way". LOL. Either that or for wearing those ridiculous sunglasses at the plate. |

Absolutely idiotic by the umps. I would think that game officials have better things to do with their time than throw someone out for what amounted to NOTHING.

Actions seem pretty mild. Maybe it was something he said.

I think you may be right. There is a Husky at the very end of the video laughing about something.

Some people have light sensitivity and see better with sunglasses in bright conditions, including white baseballs traveling at a high rate of speed. |

Hopefully, the reasoning was conveyed to the young man so that he doesn't make that mistake again.
Watching the clip doesn't give us enough information to judge the rationale of the ejection.

That's kind of the point. I expect it to be obvious why a player was ejected when I see the entire video of the incident, like we have here. And most of us still can't be sure why the player was tossed. |

At what point was he ejected? As he approaches home plate the video cuts to him chest bumping someone going into dugout so presumably that means it wasn't until after he was in the dugout the ejection was given. We don't actually see any evidence of an ejection on the video.
That leaves some unanswered questions. Was he actually ejected as the tweet states? Assuming the tweet is accurate and the answer is yes. Then was it for something he did after the video ends while in the dugout? If not, then there must have been an umpire conference after he crosses home plate, where one ump tells the others, he looked in 1st base dugout and said F-you as he flipped the bat 2/3rds down first base line, what do we do? Throw his ass out!!

And most of us still can't be sure why the player was tossed. I don’t entirely agree. As long as it is obvious to the player and to the ump doing the ejection, then I am Ok with it. If the ejection had been out of line, then it’s the coach’s job to raise a fuss. Our job is simply to observe the game and cheer for our team. And as much as we’d like, video doesn’t catch everything. |

There's a gap in the clip between when he's greeted at the plate by his teammates and when he's at the dugout celebrating with another teammate. I'm thinking this clip, from UW, may have intentionally edited out that portion. |

And as much as we’d like, video doesn’t catch everything. Head coach got tossed after the player was tossed. Looking into the whole situation just a little more, it appears that NCAA is trying to prevent the repercussions of taunting through celebratory acts. Some believe that the bat flip toward the opponent's dugout was the key. Or the slashing motion across his chest. Or the celebration at the plate. Or it could be the summation of all three that triggered the ump. At any rate, there is a couple of rule changes that shed a little light on this matter. One says no props can be brought on the field after a HR. Another says to include more unsportsmanlike behavior such as "bat flips near or toward opponents." And a third says that orchestrated activities are unsportsmanlike conduct. It strongly appears that the NCAA is trying to do away with any sort of taunting and/or "rubbing it in their faces" (as the expression goes). Too bad the UW coach hadn't warned the boys beforehand. There are many ways to celebrate a HR that don't involve flipping the bat toward the opponent, slashing movements, or a big reunion on home plate. At least, the Huskies learned early. Hopefully, the Beavs already know this. |
