Instant replay review of home runs began in 2008, with massive replay expansion coming to MLB in 2014. Since then, the league has seen countless calls on the field challenged and overturned. While MLB instant replay review was once scoffed at for removing the human element, it has become part of the game.
Bill Duplissea of the Kansas City Royals is the best replay review coordinator in MLB, meaning the Royals replay challenges are overturned at the highest rate. From the David Wright overturned steal in the Royals 2015 World Series Game 1 win to the most trivial of regular season MLB challenges and MLB overturned calls, Duplissea is the man in control.
So come one and come all! Watch this tribute to a man they call Duper, an unsung hero who provides value to his team. While fans viewing the game may have seen managers like Ned Yost, Mike Matheny, and Matt Quatraro issue the challenges, the man deciding them lives in the replay room.

i tried adding a super thanks but i don't see the button on this video :(
Like your shit. Consider taking the high pitch out of your voice
Bill just went 3-3 on challenges today vs the Mariners
In my twisted mind I read the middle part of your comment as "... You'll get hours and hours of BOGUS content ..."
😅
If this is Foolish Baseball, imagine what serious baseball would look like😳
Umpires Love Him!
The graphics would be the most serious graphics you’ve ever seen.
Just go back to the time of the “Unwritten Rules”. You’ll see all sorts of people taking it way too seriously!
can’t believe this sport doesn’t even exist… wrong channel nvm
Too bad baseball doesn’t exist
The concept of giving WAR values to replay reviewers is the most insane but also amazing idea in the history of the world. I love it and this research needs to be continued until fans start complaining about how their big market team didn’t go out and win the bidding war for the replay reviewer with a 70% success rate.
They can win you games!
@@FoolishBaseballbut can he get on base?
@@SenorTortasHe's got an ugly girlfriend
@@SenorTortas he can get your guys on base
the concept of WAR needs to be used on all coaching and management positions....the analytics behind it would show that some media darlings are duds and some media duds are pure gold, I'm sure.
As a Royals fan I remember our challenges were always elite, and Duplissea was always loved, but never seen
Going back and watching so many of his reviews, the Royals broadcast shouts him out a lot.
Yes! If you tune in to the KC broadcast, he gets a lot of appreciation by the crew. But I don't think nationally enough people know of his importance.
@@TrevorX3they will after this video!
He really put his whole Duplissea into this one
come on
Yes
@@FoolishBaseball *in
@@FoolishBaseball smacking on ur nuts
I knew I wasn’t the only one thinking it
The Royals absolutely took advantage of the replay review in their golden age. A reminder from the Royalball video that the Royals relied so much on BABIP luck, so Dupee in the basement was crazy valuable.
Wish I'd known about him during the Royalball video. That said, glad I could give him his own thing.
You’ve never played baseball if you think Babip is all luck
I mean, I don't think you as a team can rely on babip luck, 9 players a game for 162 games, that's gonna even out, you're more likely to get lucky with Alcides Escobar suddenly becoming really good than babiping the entire league.
You find the most obscurely intriguing video ideas about baseball and I will always get so invested in them
Being a depraved baseball sicko helps
Yo as a Royals fan I never would have expected a video on the man, the myth, the legend himself Bill Duplissea. Love to see him get some recognition, he truly is the GOAT.
Unreal stuff Bailey. Truly revolutionary baseball hits here
I believe in Duper supremacy
How in the hell do you even find this stuff to review? Like seriously, I considered myself a pretty heavy baseball fan and I didn’t even know this guy existed. And you managed to make an entire 18 minute video about his presence of just overturning calls entertaining. Extremely well done as always Bailey, keep up the amazing work
You consistently put up some of the best baseball content on this website. We all appreciate that very much. Keep up the great work!
Thank you for the kind words!
One of my buddies did this for the Rays for a while. He was part of their advanced scouting department I think, but one day they were just like, "You're doing it, good luck." Kind of crazy they didn't vet him at all, especially an organization like the Rays, but he's great and did a really good job I think. He was still responsible for his normal job duties I believe. He said they don't get any HD or unique camera angles like we get after the fact, so it's much harder than you might think. Still, one day my friends and I went to a game and in the first inning he got a challenge right and we were all hype. Pretty cool stuff.
Foolish, I’ve always loved your sense of humor, but the “homeruns began in 2008” joke was the first time I genuinely laughed out loud at one. Great video as always
“Ah there it is. They’re playing baseball.”
Glad the folks at the replay center figured it out
This video encapsulated all I love about baseball. Incredibly talented people adding quantifiable value to a team in seemingly odd and unique ways.
“Literal guy in the chair” heist movie moments. The Monkey in Toy Story 3 movie.
I can’t wait for this position to become a secondary profession for aspiring umpires leading to review room rookies.
Calculating WAR for a replay specialist and turning that into a monetary value. This is the nerdiest Baseball video ever and I love it
6:41 Damn, he was so good he got 2 calls reversed in the NLCS!
You could have done this on the Mets replay review guy last year, his name is Harrison. They led the league in replay review success having like a 90% clip. He definitely helped them get a 100 win season. However this year he’s been much worse at success despite him looking to have made the right call which made me get my tin foil hat on
Yeah he had a really good year. Duper's been at it for a decade though
@@FoolishBaseball this is true plus he used to work at the MLB replay review office which gives him a leg up on someone like Duper
Yeah, Harrison Friedland. I think he had a harder time in 2023 simply because of the clock-he just doesn’t have nearly as much time to make a decision and relay it to the bench. But maybe he and the org can figure out how to streamline their process to improve their success rate. I hope it’s something they’ve been working on.
As a royals fan it’s nice to see other fan bases know we still exist in our pain and suffering.
Bailey has convinced me, Bill Duplissea is the Steph Curry of video reviews
I bet Bill Duplissea could drain a 3 before Steph Curry got a play overturned
Babe wake up, new baseball bits
babe. babe. it's about replay review
@@FoolishBaseballhow will this affect David Wright’s legacy?
Thank you Bailey. I have no idea why ppl believe the manager is the one who halts play, fires up the replay from all available angles, scrutinizes the replay, and decides, "Yep we're going to challenge." All in 15 seconds
It's probably because managers are issued proprietary contact lenses that enable them to instantaneously switch from normal sight to 4k video replay from all angles available at said stadium. Admittedly there have been some issues with this tech. It relies on voice commands and a loud atmosphere can hamper the process. This all falls under the Freedom of Information act. Contact your local congressman and voice your displeasure.
@7:54 “scored from home” gotcha!
Duplissea sounds like an imaginary final evolutionary stage of Chansey from Pokemon lol
It's just two Blisseys
Man you’re constantly sharing new ways to think about baseball that I hadn’t considered or known before. Absolutely great stuff as always FB
How are you not at 500k yet?! I have never played baseball and rarely watch MLB games, but whenever I see a Foolish Baseball upload I know I'm in for a treat.
Without question one of the most innovative videos on your channel, and those Wheel of Fortune jokes are among your best
Always good to get an affirmation of your thoughts on your team. We’re good at the exciting bits of baseball* (stealing, small ball, fielding, winning replays) and terrible at the bits of baseball that make it so you can win (hitting and pitching).
*home runs are exciting and KC doesn’t do that so it doesn’t count here
Long time fan, first time commenter Bailey. Been following your videos all the way from Australia and I have to say this video is my new favourite. Genuinely funny, highly entertaining and adding something that I've never heard anyone else talk about. Keep up the great work mate!
2:13 that catcher flipping them off is hilarious
I have to correct something here. In the '85 series, Orta was later thrown out at third on a failed sac bunt by Jim Sundberg. It was Onix Concepción who eventually scored the tying run.
Onix Concepcion, Top 5 2nd basemen of 1986 legend
Hey look! A new Baseball Bits from Foolish Baseball! The sole reason I started watching baseball again after 20+ years. Thanks Foolish!
I love these dissertations. Keep up the great work.
Technically speaking, when it comes to calculating war for replay reviewers, less win probability should be subtracted for missed challenges if the challenge occurs later in the game. A missed challenge in the 6th inning is far less likely to hurt a team than a missed challenge in the 1st inning. Loved the video!
god the mid 2010s royals are one of the coolest team to learn about
This was a fascinating subject to cover. THIS is why I am excited for every Foolish Baseball video.
Seeing Bill get his due after hearing about how good he has been so consistently on Royals TV over the years is awesome
Put this in the S tier baseball bits category immediately. REVISE!
Foolish Baseball on the Royals are my favorite videos on this website. Bless you Bailey.
Hearing about the value of a replay coordinator to a team was surprisingly engaging. Every discipline has its legends, and Bill Duplissea certainly is one given his stats.
This is an amazing piece of research and a killer video!
This might be my favorite video in a while. Truly awesome stuff.
"Umpires Hate Him! Click here to see how he robs the other team of any chance!" this got thinking abt those ads 😂😂😂 Love this channel and the work you put in. Making baseball better everyday man.
Thanks!
These vids r phenomenal
Wow man, as a Royals fan bravo for bringing up Bill Duplissea! The goat of replays
Absolutely amazing content
Genius work, Bailey
An incredibly cool video, legitimately amazing stuff
This is absolutely amazing content.
You pick the weirdest subjects, but make them so interesting! Love to see it FB
Weirdish baseball
Thank you!
Maybe one of your most inspired vids yet, the jeopardy bit was classic
1:17 it's the man, the myth, the legend! RUSTY KUNTZ
Very happy to see a baseball bits video
1:00 Wow that was a really cool play btw
As a Cubs fan, the replay overturn rate for the team makes total sense, but the WAA being tied 2nd for replay is really surprising. Just speaking anecdotally, it feels like they challenge way too many close plays and lose their challenge early, instead of saving them for more definite challenges, but it seems that the volume of challenges really makes up for it.
They still convert at a rate just a smidge higher than average despite the volume.
This is an interesting look for the behind the scenes magic that happens
Instant classic, Bailey. I love this.
This genuinely made ma cackle. 1:21
Probably your best video of the year
Great episode
7:54 “As a result, Alcides Escobar scored from home.”
Why didn’t Alcides Escobar use this power more often?
skill issue
1:32 this is like summoning salt music but for baseball
Always a great day when Bailey posts. Really livens up what would otherwise be a boring slog through the endless midseason muck.
Any royals baseball bits makes me warm and fuzzy in my tum tum
This is my favorite video you've made.
Another great one! 🤞🏽
BAILEY THANK YOU FOR UPLOADING , WE LOVE YOU
I KNOW
every video is more creative than the last. keep killing it foolish!
Thank you very much!
"Don't Laugh" just absolutely got me! Well done
Foolish at it again telling me about a new part of baseball I'm now gonna tell my friends about and be seen as a stathead. Love the video
I’ve been watching you for a while Baley. And ice got to say, for a non American, your videostyle is the best to get me into baseball
This is probably the best YT video I've seen in recent memory
Jorge Orta got picked of at 3rd later in that inning in the 85 WS so the Royals didn’t really benefit from the call as much as Cardinals fans say they did. Amazing video though, guys like that need more credit
15:20 Don't underestimate Bud Black arguing and getting ejected. It's some of the only excitement is Rockies fans have right now
Never heard of Billy before now, but he's my favorite baseball guy now!
I love this video. Thank you.
I love how in the astros blowout clip the last play of the game was a horribly miscalled fullcount called strike
This video and topic are just such sicko, baseball nerd type stuff. I love it so much.
I love how duper did so well in the ALDS that the royals became an NL team for the CS
Kinda feel like Duplissea needs to pull this out next time they're negotiating a contract :D
this is my favorite episode
I've been saying for years that non-player/non-coach personnel in every major sport are incredibly undervalued. If good team doctors keep your players on the field/court for a few extra games a year, that's a huge difference to be made with the monetary equivalent of a minimum player contract. They don't count for the salary cap either, so it's a great way for wealthy owners to leverage that advantage in hard capped leagues. I'm glad to see other people have started to quantify this and bring it to light.
Could you imagine being Billy on a Saturday morning and having his phone blown up about being featured in a Foolish Baseball video?
Harrison Friedland's 2022 season running the replay booth with the Mets was legendary.
Please do more videos where you assign WaR to various staff. This was great
Foolish Baseball ALWAYS with the quality content!
ALWAYS
Duper's Intervention sounds like a lovely Elden Ring incantation
This is such a foolish baseball video kind of topic lol fun times.
That was great 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽
I can’t believe the same person who penned the lyrics to the Bally Sports theme karaoke is also the same person behind Foolish Baseball.
3:19 I love you foolishbb
Another Foolish banger.
This is an all-timer, Bailey. Just beautiful
I don't watch baseball, I don't play baseball, I don't care about baseball, but I love FoolishBaseball videos.
I'm a maths graduate who finds statistics fascinating and so the combination of the vast amount of data that's tracked in baseball, and Baileys ability to use that data to tell really interesting stories, makes this one of the best channels on youtube in my opinion.
Keep up the good work :)
Now I need a video breaking down Bill Duplissea’s HOF candidacy
3:45 there's the Strange Music squad!!! Tech, Kali, Travis. Some other dude?
I was at Busch Stadium for that Michael Morse grand slam. Having the runners all reset and Morse mime the swing was thoroughly bizarre. Though I'm not sure the Cards fans around me noticed as they were focused on knitting and playing games on their phones.
The absolute flap dopamine hit I receive when I see Foolish posted. God speed
The little jokes within the essay always get me to giggle
My wife is a major baseball fan and stat junkie. I can't begin to tell you how much your videos help my marriage! ❤😂
