Catcher’s Throw Knocks Bat Out of Hands | MLB News
Description
A baseball game turned wild when Twins catcher Victor Caratini accidentally threw the ball, smacking Angels outfielder Wade Meckler’s bat right out of his hands—thankfully, no one got hurt. Caratini, who’s had his own share of mishaps (including hitting a player in the head in 2022), was stunned it landed on the bat instead of Meckler. The play echoes a 2015 playoff incident that cost a team a run, and manager Derek Shelton called it unprecedented—especially since no runners were on base this time. It’s a reminder of baseball’s chaotic, split-second nature: one moment you’re playing, the next your bat’s flying.
