During the 2016 season, De Jesus umpired 97 games (25 as the home plate umpire), and issued one ejection, Miami Marlins coach Tim Wallach.[5] During the 2017 season, De Jesus has issued several ejections, including Los Angeles Dodgers second baseman Chase Utley following a disagreement over De Jesus' positioning on the field.[6] In August, De Jesus was the first base umpire for the 2017 MLB Little League Classic.
