MLB Reclassifies Adell's Blunder as 4-Base Error
6 Jun
Summary
- MLB changed a home run to a four-base error.
- This is the second time this has happened to Adell.
- Adell took accountability for the rare misplay.
On Friday, Major League Baseball officially changed a play that was initially ruled a home run to a four-base error. The incident occurred on Tuesday when a ball hit off Angels right fielder Jo Adell's glove and then his head before going over the fence.
This ruling revision means the Rockies' TJ Rumsfield is now credited with a four-base error instead of a solo home run. This is only the second time in MLB history that a four-base error has happened, and both instances have involved Jo Adell. The first occurred during his rookie season in 2020.
Adell, who has worked to improve his defensive skills and was a Gold Glove finalist in 2024, immediately addressed reporters after the game. He accepted accountability for the misplay, acknowledging its unusual appearance while emphasizing his commitment to moving forward.
