Joc Pederson Got Ejected So Quickly for Arguing Terrible Called Third Strike

This was rough.

Joc Pederson was rightfully not happy about this call in Arizona's win over the Reds.

The 2024 MLB season has been marred by a lot of bad calls from umpires and that continued Monday night when Arizona Diamondbacks designated hitter Joc Pederson was rung up in a key moment on a called third strike that sure looked like a ball low.

Pederson was rightfully not happy about the call, which came with two runners on in a one-run game in the bottom of the eighth inning, and got possibly the fastest ejection of the season as home plate umpire Mark Carlson wasted no time in throwing him out of the game.

Here's how that situation played out:

Told you it was a quick ejection!

The Diamondbacks were able to rally for the win with two runs in the ninth.
