UmpScorecards, which accumulates data for all home plate umpires throughout the season, shared Pawol’s performance results from Sunday. She called 92.72% of balls and strikes accurately, according to the outlet, getting 140 out of 151 taken pitches called correctly.

The average for umpires this season has been 94.23%, according to the data. 

JEN PAWOL MAKES HISTORY AS MLB'S FIRST FEMALE UMP: 'THE DREAM ACTUALLY CAME TRUE TODAY'

Breaking down the report card more, Pawol’s called ball accuracy was 95%, with five of the 104 balls called inaccurately. The average for umpires this season is 97%. 

For called strike accuracy, her mark was 88%, which is the average for all umpires in 2025. She called six of 47 strikes inaccurately, according to the report.

While the relative accuracy was -1.4% below expected, Pawol received a great review from Marlins manager Clayton McCullough after the game. 

"I think Jen did a really nice job," he said, via The New York Post

"I think she’s very composed back there. She handled and managed the game very well. And big day for her. Big day for Major League Baseball. I congratulated her again on that because it’s quite the accomplishment."

Pawol, who played softball at Hofstra University, spent 10 seasons in the minor leagues, serving as an umpire for more than 1,200 games. She said that "the dream actually came true" when she ran onto the field during Saturday’s doubleheader, where a loud cheer from fans at Truist Park in Atlanta rained down. 

"I’m still living in it, and I’m just so grateful to my family, to Major League Baseball for just creating such an amazing work environment, to the umpires that I work with – we have just amazing camaraderie. We’re working hard, but we’re having fun. And I’m just so thankful," Pawol said. 

While Pawol’s next MLB assignment remains unclear – she’s what’s considered a rover that is called up from the minor leagues to call games – history was made in Atlanta this weekend.

Sports pundit Skip Bayless blasts NFL teams as 'racist fools' for passing on Shedeur Sanders after QB's debut

Sports pundit Skip Bayless made a racial claim about NFL teams after Cleveland Browns rookie quarterback Shedeur Sanders had an impressive preseason debut on Friday night.

Bayless was quick to scold teams who passed on the former Colorado Buffaloes standout during the draft, allowing him to fall to the fifth round to the Browns. Cleveland made the pick even after trading down in the first round to select defensive tackle Mason Graham and already selecting Oregon quarterback Dillon Gabriel in the third round.

"Tonight, Shedeur Sanders made the entire National Football League look like a whole bunch of petty fools and, in some cases, racist fools. In many cases, Deion (Sanders)-despising fools," Bayless said in a video. "Tonight at Carolina, Shedeur Sanders made all those teams that had 143 chances to draft him before he went 144, he shamed all of them, including the Cleveland Browns, who finally took him in the fifth round."

Bayless didn’t elaborate on how Sanders’ performance made the league look like "racist fools." But he was adamant that he was behind the quarterback all along.

BROWNS COACH ADDS TO QUARTERBACK INTRIGUE FOLLOWING SHEDEUR SANDERS' GREAT PRESEASON DEBUT

Sanders’ free fall to the fifth round of the draft back in the spring, which sparked a massive debate during and after the event.

"It was the biggest disgrace in the history of the National Football League that somehow the sheep-think NFL wanted to teach Shedeur, and in turn Deion, a lesson for how he interviewed, how he carried himself, how he was the highest-paid NIL college player ever," Bayless continued.

Sanders making the roster still isn’t set in stone as there are four quarterbacks vying for a roster spot with Deshaun Watson on the injured reserve.

But his performance against the Carolina Panthers got him off to a good start. He had two touchdown passes and 138 passing yards in the win.
