How does that happen? I played baseball for 20+ years and I'm not ever sure we ever had that happen. There is no reason to turn your back. What if the catcher throws the ball over the head of the pitcher? What happens if the catcher throws to the third baseman (just happened). So many things. You just never take your eye off the ball until the umps rule the ball dead (and even then, you have to be careful for ball in the glove trick).

So he should have had an even heightened awareness of that possibility.

But I’ve never seen a guy get picked off 3rd as he walks with his back to the bag….absolutely pathetic
