Detroit Tigers shortstop Niko Goodrum crouched and stuck out his glove to make a back-handed play on a weak ground ball from Salvador Perez during the second inning in Friday's 7-5 win over the Kansas City Royals.
But the ball scooted underneath his glove for an error. He ripped off his mitt and with his bare right hand in disappointment. It was Goodrum's sixth error in his past 12 games at shortstop.
The results are uncharacteristic for the 2020 Gold Glove finalist.
"It frustrates him because the one thing he takes probably the most pride in is his ability to handle the glove at shortstop," Tigers manager AJ Hinch said Saturday.
