His mechanics are very smooth. My only critique would be it seems his head height might be a bit low. I realize that is a matter of preference. It obviously works for him.

[@robertbrown7470]

Yes, and explaining his calls. I'm seeing that more and more. Not sure where it's coming from.

[@ignaciocompilation5069]

Always feels good when the fans thank you and tell ya good game or great job. 🙏🏽🔥⚾️

[@joetheumpire]

Donnie is so smooth.

[@josephgravina9834]

1:00 - Absolutely tried to hit that pitch.

[@dylansmith1738]

Impressive how much he crouches down.

[@kskaiseraaron]

Seems to crouch pretty low. Id like to see the stats on his down and away pitches. I'd have a hard time seeing those if i crouched that low

[@joepa330ify]

Communication is great. My only question is head height.....

[@cloudwatcher724]

yeah, one can deduce from the crowd size, or more accurately, the lack thereof, that this is NOT a CWS game...

[@DJTR3SEntertainment]

head hight, chin should be at top of catchers head

[@XXelpollodiabloXX]

3:24 My man you are supposed to catch that mask.

[@robertbrown7470]

Talking into your mitt has been banned!!!

[@krisandnancyboucher1277]

Good video, but Russ Matt isn’t the D3 CWS……it’s early season games in FL. Just FYI.

"FT" Featuring DIII 2022 CWS Umpire Donnie Smith. This is video from RussMatt.

[@UnitedUmpires]

Please read the title again. Nowhere does the title state this was captured at the D3 CWS! What it does state is that it features - commonly abbreviated as ft. - Donnie who did, in fact work the 2022 Division III CWS. In case there remains any question(s): In the description, it very clearly conveys this was captured from, wait for it, the RUSSMATT BASEBALL INVITATIONAL, MARCH, 2022! Just FYI!
