J.T. Realmuto took an ugly shot during Wednesday’s game.
The Philadelphia Phillies catcher was behind the plate for the team’s game against the Toronto Blue Jays at Rogers Centre in Toronto, Ontario. During the bottom of the ninth inning with the score tied at 1-1, Blue Jays shortstop Bo Bichette was up to bat and promptly delivered an unintentional (but no less forgiving) shot to Realmuto’s nuts.
Bichette barely nicked a 94 mph fastball offering from Philadelphia’s Jordan Romano, sending the baseball straight into Realmuto’s groin. Here is the video of the play.
