Actual Different Calls from Vance Worley’s Friday Start
Phillies right-hander Vance Worley currently possesses a swinging-strike rate of 5.5% — which swinging-strike rate would typically produce a strikeout rate of about 12%. Instead, at 20.6%, Worley has a considerably higher strikeout rate than that. That he features the lowest opponent Z-Swing% (that is swing rate against pitches within the zone) among qualified pitchers goes a long way towards explaining how Worley has been successful — namely, by inducing a great number of called strikes three.
But you needn’t take my — or even LeVar Burton’s — word for it. Indeed, here are five actually different audio clips from Worley’s Friday night start against San Francisco (box):

And a called strike three.

Carson, I went to The New Enthusiast to see the horrible, terrible and possibly depraved things that you have written there, and this is what I found:

I must ask, is that written by THE Sean Casey? The man nicknamed “The Mayor” during his time in Cincinnati? If it’s true, that the MLB network regular and famed baseball star is writing at The New Enthusiast then I am truly impressed and dismayed that I hadn’t heard about this before.
