<Anchor> In the
major leagues where the best baseball players in the world gathered, an absurd play that is hard to see in local baseball came out. Check out the big leaguer's mistake that gave you a big laugh.
This is reporter Lee Seong-hoon.
<Reporter> In a
two-out second base situation, Baez of the Chicago Cubs hits a ground ball at third and continues to the first base throw.
If the Pittsburgh first baseman hits the base, the innings just end, but he slowly follows him saying he will tag Baez, who keeps walking backwards.
In the meantime, when the runner on second base digs into the groove, he belatedly handed the ball over to the catcher, but it was safe. At this time, when Baez sprinted back to first base, he even committed an embarrassed catcher's bad throw, and Baez arrived at second base.
[No way! Baez stole a point with his phenomenal base play!]
Baez, nicknamed'Mage', known for making opponent mistakes, was proud that everything went as he intended.
[Javier Baez/Chicago Cubs Infielder: Runners stepped back to create a chance to score. At the same time, I kept a close distance so the first baseman followed me. I'm good at tagging when I'm defending, but I'm also good at avoiding tags when attacking.] An
embarrassing situation happened last night in domestic professional baseball as well.
At Hanwha's no-out 1-3 base chance, a squeeze bunt failed and the third base runner caught a rundown, but the third base coach instructed the runner Yoo Jang-hyuk, who had arrived at third base early for some reason, to go back to second base. I have dedicated 2 counts.
Recently, as mistakes have been made in extremely normal rundown play both at home and abroad, the proverb in the baseball world that it is not over until the end has been spotlighted.
