MLB Umpire Ángel Hernández Retires After Controversial Career
Ending a 30-Year Legacy
Accuracy Concerns and Accusations
Ángel Hernández, known for his controversial tenure as an umpire in Major League Baseball (MLB), has announced his retirement. The Cuban-American official, who has been working in the National League since 1991, has drawn both praise and criticism over the accuracy of his calls.
According to research by Baseball Almanac, Hernández's expected accuracy rate was 69.936%, significantly lower than the league average. This raised concerns about the fairness and consistency of his umpiring, particularly in high-stakes games.
Over the years, Hernández has also been involved in several high-profile incidents. These include a confrontation with former New York Mets manager Terry Collins in 2015 and an on-field altercation with Houston Astros pitcher Lance McCullers in 2019.
