Lots of pitchers battle control problems from time to time, but the Washington Nationals Henry Rodriguez took it to a new level, nearly hitting himself with his own wild pitch.
How is that possible, you ask? See animated GIF replay below!
In his slight defense … we have never seen anything like that.
The reliever only lasted a third of an inning and clearly was off his game, walking three batters and giving up a run in the Nats’ 5-2 loss to the Reds Sunday.
When you nearly bean yourself, never a good sign.
