Tony Wolters had one of the saddest strikes you’ll ever see

It’s never good when you strike Really Not good when you strike in an embarrassing way.

The same happened during the spring training game between the Pirates and Yanikis on Saturday. In the top of the sixth inning, Yankees pitcher Darren O’Day faced Pirates catcher Tony Wolters. At-Bat made a typical start, working their way to a 2–2 count.

Then O’Day fooled Walters for a third strike.

Yes, this is an incredibly rare strike where the batsman hits the pitch.

As a casual baseball spectator, I didn’t even realize it was possible. You would think that whenever a batsman hit, they would automatically go to first base. But most batsmen are able to see the wild pitch and never actually swing, resulting in a strike.

Even Walters had plenty of time to look at the pitch. MLB tracked the ball at a speed of only 79.7 mph.

The strike was made almost worse as it appeared that the volleteers penetrated That The field, a field no man wants to hit with baseball. But baseball just missed, and the Voltars actually hit the upper thigh area.

Unfortunately, a hit-by-pitch forced Walters to leave the game (he was replaced by Andrew Susak). However, it is not clear if he suffered actual injuries. There was no immediate update on the Voltars after the game.
