Tyler Rogers Slider Gets Strikeout on Ball That Hits Batter | SF Giants vs San Diego Padres

[@umbrellaBuddha]

Can we all just hold hands for a moment and appreciate the anguish of striking outing on an 0-2 count with a swing-and-miss that is so off the plate that it LITERALLY hits you in the face ☠️

[@kamicrum4408]

Talk about insult to injury!

[@jotun1022]

He 100% did clip the ball with his bat... BARELY, like the smallest clip you could possibly clip. go to 0:24 and slow it down to .25x. you will see the spin of the ball change directions(starts going up) just for a moment before it hits his shoulder. And interestingly enough, if you do the same speed at 0:39 this didn't hit him in the face like I thought. It just bounces off his shoulder straight up and hits hit helmet. This explains why he was not dazed, just confused

[@DarrylAJones]

@jotun1022 This is exactly what I did and posted MY video of it on Facebook. But these morons keep arguing with me. They are all idiots. YES, I am pissed off!

[@Flosseveryday]

They kept saying he CLEARLY fouled it off but I don’t see anything definitive to support that perspective.

Fouled it by the fact it hit his shoulder 😂. I did not see it hit the bat, broadcasters were out to lunch

In super slow mo (0.25 speed) it does appear to graze the bat by the slighest of possible margins. Doesn't change the fact he basically about missed a ball that hit him dead center.

[@nathanc8478]

@@БранимирМилошевић I think the OP might be saying "hit the bat" as an ironic statement since he swung at it. Which would mean he hit the ball, not that the ball hit the bat.

[@Burton647]

It never touched the bat he swung at a pitch that hit him so it's a strike. That announcer is making shit up that don't exist so the batter looks less goofy. He literally swung at a pitch that hit him in the head. Props to the pitcher

[@jsk3005]

You aren’t watching the first replay closely enough.

[@Narxes081206]

Dude it hit the bat, first replay shows the deflection. It's slight, but it's there. Secondly, he swung, strike 3 he's out.

[@scotey]

I didn't see it the first five times I watched it. But the ball definitely grazes the bat. You can see the spin accelerate every so slightly as the ball crosses the plane of the bat. Watch it at .5x speed. It's subtle as hell, but he touched it.

[@trent617tw]

It hit the bat for sure. The at bat should have continued, but no replay on those

[@panda93247]

Imagine getting hit in the head and being called out on the same pitch. OOF!!! 🤣🤣🤣🤣

[@coryv5679]

It is stuff like this why I quit watching most sports. Even if the dude didn't swing the ball would have hit him. It is such a stupid rule that if you make contact with a ball that is going to hit you it counts as a strike... The fact that the ball was going straight at his arm outside of the batter's box and it hits him regardless of him swinging should mean it's a walk.

[@rickysampson8759]

If it’s that close then don’t swing at it?

[@j39DaScounger60]

A foul tip is actually when the ball is hit sharply and directly to the catcher's mitt and caught.

[@xspacexgoatx1782]

I would believe it’s not reviewable because of how many foul tips happen a game compared to others

[@TheFudily]

He keeps talking about how it was clearly a fouled tip.. but that was quite possibly the *least* clear foul tip I've ever seen. It took multiple watches and slowing it down to 0.25x speed to see it.

That pitcher has to be using some type of stickem that ball never stopped spinning after tipping the bat the batters arm then face still spinnjng fast as hell the whole way down even when it hits the ground its spinning like a bowlingball

[@halecj1]

You need to use a different term to describe the pitch, because a "rising slider" is an impossibility. That's like saying you have a hot piece of ice.

[@holgualoxford3871]

Even if there were no strikes I would of just called the guy out on this pitch. hehe

[@1st-Amendment]

The only reason ANY PLAY would be “non reviewable” is so umps can control the game to make sure the Vegas odds are met. Just like any professional sport. The betting world has about 40 betting apps that generate revenue for all sports. Money rules the outcome.

[@craigjorgensen5895]

It’s astounding that so many people can watch the exact same video and reach such opposing conclusions. Ball elevated slightly from contact with the bat before contact with the shoulder. Umpire kicked it, but understandable in this context.

I think it did hit the bat, but by so very thin of contact that I couldn’t say conclusively that it did. There’s room for doubt. I watched the slow-mo at 1/4-speed and zoomed in 3.5x. It looked like the ball shifted ever so slightly from contacting the bat. It was very, very close. Just not sure either way. There should be a rule that the pitcher can’t release the ball from below his belt. Otherwise, bring in the girl’s softball pitchers.
