The Mets received a clarification and apology Friday on the mysterious strike call against Jeff McNeil a day earlier.
McNeil was charged with a strike by plate umpire Larry Vanover — as part of MLB’s new rules — according to manager Buck Showalter because Pete Alonso was slow returning to first base between pitches after running.
In the future, Showalter said players will be warned by the umpire if they are slow returning to the base. Pete Alonso reacts after being called for taking. too long to return to first base during the Mets’ win over the Marlins on March 30.Adding to the confusion, Alonso was later told by Vanover, according to Showalter, that he wasn’t the cause of the strike called on McNeil — who delivered a single on the next pitch.
Showalter’s expectation is that umpires will show leniency on pace of game issues unless there are blatant offenders.
