Umpires Fix Incorrect Call on Narvaez Single - 1B Umpire Initially Called it Foul Before Reversing

Umpires reversed a clearly incorrect call to the right one during a Mets-Brewers game after 1B Umpire Sean Barber erroneously called New York batter Omar Narvaez's base hit a foul ball, despite the ball bouncing well into fair territory. Here's how they did it. Article: https://www.closecallsports.com/2023/... Facebook:   / closecallsports   Twitter:   / closecallsports   Discord:   / discord   Official Baseball Rule 8.02(c) allows umpires to reverse or change erroneous initial calls: "If the umpires consult after a play and change a call that had been made, then they have the authority to take all steps that they may deem necessary, in their discretion, to eliminate the results and consequences of the earlier call that they are reversing, including placing runners where they think those runners would have been after the play, had the ultimate call been made as the initial call." After Barber's initial foul ball call, HP Umpire Mike Muchlinski convened the crew, which resulted in the call changing to fair ball and batter-runner Narvaez being placed at first base. The rationale for the runner placement was the ball's path caroming off the right field wall and in proximity to Milwaukee right fielder Brian Anderson and Narvaez's below-average running speed. The importance of reversing the call on the field without going to Replay Review is that if this play were closer, Replay would rely on the umpire's final on-field ruling (in this case a fair ball) as the umpires' "call on the field" such that any "call stands" outcome would result in that call being the final call. Although OBR 8.02(c) does states that "no umpire shall criticize, seek to reverse or interfere with another umpire's decision unless asked to do so by the umpire making it," this call was not of the 50-50 judgment variety the rule is designed to protect: it was such an obvious miss that it all but necessitated a crew-saver of a reversal to prevent a clear travesty. NCAA (college)'s rulebook goes a step further about correcting calls to specify which calls are and are not eligible for reversal. For instance, mistaken home run vs foul ball calls can be reversed but balls and strikes cannot. Although not specified as detailed as NCAA, similar logic applies in OBR and also NFHS.
