Braves OF Marcell Ozuna strikes out on three straight balls, Twitter reacts
There are plenty of times when umpires get it wrong and call a pitch well out of the zone a strike. But on three pitches in a row? That's not a good look.
But that's exactly what happened to Atlanta Braves outfielder Marcell Ozuna on Wednesday when he faced New York Mets pitcher Tylor Megill. Ozuna struck out on three consecutive pitches, all of which were clearly outside of the strike zone.
Ozuna appeared to have some words for the plate umpire after the called strike three.

He wasn't alone. Fans quickly took to Twitter to dissect the at-bat, and to point out where the pitches actually hit.

Lucky for the Braves, Ozuna's at-bat didn't hurt their chances of winning as they went on to defeat the Mets 9-2.
