Umpire uses high-pitched shriek to call strikes

Umpire’s can get quite flamboyant with their strike calls and punchouts. Some scream, some wildly gesticulate and some simply give the good ol’ fist pump. Others are more original like this Maria Sharapova wannabe.

So is that a man, woman or as the uploader suggests, a pterodactyl? Truthfully, I thought it sounded more like a velociraptor but I yield to your paleontological expertise as my opinion is rooted in 1st grade science and Jurassic Park.
