Johnny Bench of the 70's Reds caught his pitcher's fast ball with his bare hand alone on purpose to taunt him to throw harder.

It’s an out, thats why he showed it to the ump. Batter grazed the ball.

Catching with two hands for a catcher risks broken fingers.

[marshalbaek]

Look at how the ball rocks his bare hand on impact!!! Eeeeek!

[rolandocastillo]

Look at how much energy went into the catchers finger with an off speed pitch. His fingers were moving in all different directions lol

[SonojIsHere]

Batter almost smoked the catcher on his backswing too

[MrDodgyh]

Every wicket keeper across the world applauding this

[jeffgagnon]

The spin on the ball changed when the bat hit it. !!!😮

[smudent]

It even states in the rule book that it just needs to be a legally caught ball for strike 3. That includes trapping it against your body

[shawncaradine]

Tipped both the ball and the catcher's mask.
Bravo

Not a huge fan of baseball, I don’t have the attention span for a sport so slow. But I’m still always amazed at the skills the pros have, especially their reaction times. Very impressive.

That sure is an out did the ump call it an out??

[creeky.]

I’m a catcher and I got hit in the fingernail it started to bleed

[TexEdwards]

No he didn't it's only an out if that was strike 3...

[misterscollard]

What’s the question?? C’mon man! Don’t post idiocy.

[Blanton]

A caught foul tip is only an out if the count was already two strikes

[hereswear]

All cricket players in the world sighing at this. 😅

ESPN. Did you really just describe something as “pretty epic”? Don’t do that. It’s either pretty cool, or epic. Pretty epic? This is why nobody likes ESPN anymore. Stuff like this, amongst other things.

ファウルチップ。少しでもズレたら指骨折とかあり得る。
捕手は怪我との紙一重。

My palm got hit and took 3 weeks to heal
