College Slugger’s Bad Luck Produces a Bizarre & Astounding Play During a Baseball Game

College is an important stage for baseball players as they have the chance to develop before entering the Major Leagues. For some players, college may be their last stop before retiring from the sport. But all players in college want to have at least one epic play that they can look back on. 

Mason Morgan of Mississippi Delta Community College is a catcher for their Trojans baseball team. Most baseball fans would not know of him. But Morgan was recently involved in a fantastic defensive play caused by a bizarre incident during a game. 

This catcher benefited from one of the most bizarre plays in college baseball

Baseball is a game of chance and happenstance. Not everything goes according to plan or as you expect it to. Most recently, a college game proved to be the perfect example of such a situation. Mississippi Delta Community College pitcher GW Pigott threw a wild pitch that went over the opposing batter’s head. The batter ducked, expecting the pitch to go for a ball, but that did not happen. Instead, the pitch went over his head and connected with his bat before looping upwards. Catcher Mason Morgan showed quick reflexes and dove forward, catching the pitch for an out.

Barstool Sports shared the video of this bizarre sequence on Twitter.

In the Tweet, they said, “Just got to call it quits after you make an out like this @Starting9”. Although the reflexes were great and the defensive play was fantastic, it left the batter feeling dejected.
