Umpire CB Bucknor Out After 100.2 MPH Pitch Injury

Veteran umpire CB Bucknor, the face of MLB’s new ABS system, suffered a serious injury when a 100. 2 mph pitch struck his mask.

A week after the incident, Bucknor remains sidelined as he recovers. The league is closely monitoring his progress and has assigned temporary umpires in his place.

Bucknor’s experience has long been a benchmark for officiating quality. Fans are eager to see when he will return to the diamond.
