The MLB All-Star Game last night in Los Angeles wasn’t the highest scoring game in the history of the world but there were a bunch of fun things that happened during the American League’s 3-2 win, including every time they showed the view from the ump cam.
Seriously, this ump cam should become a thing that we get to see more often.
In case you missed it, the home plate ump had a camera on his mask and FOX would use those views to show us just how nasty some of the pitches were.
This slider by Miami’s Sandy Alcantara was one of those sick pitches and it just so happened to freeze Giancarlo Stanton, who was later named the game’s MVP, at the plate for strike three.
Check this out:

I mean, come on! We need more ump cams in every game.
Twitter loved it.
