West Virginia Loses RF Hutchinson, Suspended by League Saturday, September 6th , 2025 The West Virginia Power were not very happy with the home plate umpire in today's loss to Lakewood at Appalachian Power Park. One in particular -- Jeff Hutchinson. Upon being called out on strikes, the Power right fielder gave the ump quite an earful. For that, the man in blue gave him the thumb and sent him to an early shower. But the disgruntled Hutchinson lingered on the field for another five minutes, berating the umpire. Finally his manager got him off the field and into the clubhouse. But it got worse after the game, when Hutchinson told reporters, "He was awful out there. They played 'Three Blind Mice' for him." For his escapades and after-the-game oration, the league office suspended Hutchinson for 4 games. In his season totals Hutchinson has 2 home runs and a .270 batting average. |
