Mets Catcher's Wild Dash to Mound Stuns Baseball
14 Apr
Summary
- Catcher ran towards the mound mid-pitch to get pitcher's attention.
- The catcher sensed the pitcher would throw despite a called timeout.
- The unusual mid-game action briefly halted a showdown between stars.
A peculiar moment unfolded on the baseball field when Mets catcher Francisco Alvarez sprinted toward the pitcher's mound. This occurred in the middle of an at-bat between reliever Craig Kimbrel and star hitter Shohei Ohtani. Alvarez had called for time but noticed Kimbrel wasn't looking home. He feared Kimbrel might still throw a pitch. Alvarez ran partway to the mound to ensure Kimbrel acknowledged the timeout. This unusual action caused Ohtani and the umpire to move out of the way. Kimbrel eventually noticed Alvarez and held the ball, averting a potentially unrecognized pitch. The brief, dramatic scene concluded without further incident.
