In the Philadelphia Phillies’ second game of the season, top prospect Scott Kingery made his MLB debut.
It almost ended very quickly.
In the second inning, Kingery fielded a throw at second base, and while avoiding the sliding runner, Kingery’s momentum took him right to the feet of umpire Jordan Baker.
Then Baker almost caved in Kingery’s face. On accident of course.
Luckily Baker has quick reflexes and did not complete the punch out of the runner and Kingery’s noggin. He waited til the former Arizona Wildcat got barely out of the line of fire.
