Umpire camera footage on Freddie Freeman’s home run is the best of the season

Freddie Freeman sent this one flying and the camera angle was amazing!

If you want the best seat in the house to watch Dodgers star Freddie Freeman hit dingers, you would probably have to become an MLB umpire.

But that isn’t easy and you can’t get that kind of access without intense training, so thanks to modern technological developments, we now have access to the next best thing.

It’s officially known as UmpCam and we have seen the cool development used to illustrate how difficult it is to hit against ace pitchers like Spencer Strider. Fans, obviously, have loved it.

UmpCamp footage offered us a unique angle for this Freeman home run:

If you thought that looked cool, why don’t we try checking it out in slow motion?

That, my friends, is the only way to make this look more awesome:

UmpCam is an official collaboration with RF Wireless that uses a custom POV camera fitted for the umpire mask. It is similar to the NHL RefCam and the goal was to use the technology in “at least 15 broadcasts” this season.

ESPNU has even tried an alternative UmpCast for the College Baseball World Series.

We want more UmpCam as the season continues because it’s amazing.
