Minor Leaguer Strikes Out In The Weirdest Way Imaginable

It’s probably safe to say Josh Fuentes will strike out again in his minor league career but never again like this: 

The now-viral moment  happened Friday at a game in Binghamton, New York. Fuentes, batting for the Hartford Yard Goats, watched Binghamton pitcher Cory Burns slip off the mound and throw a meek pitch that rolled on the infield grass.

Fuentes, still in the batter’s box, took what appeared to be a playful practice swing while the ball rolled toward the first base line. Oops, dude. The ball was live and the umpire ruled it a third strike to end the top of the eighth inning. Hartford was losing 5-4  at the time and the score ended that way, the Hartford Courant reported.

But at least Fuentes made it onto national television while maintaining his sense of humor.
