The Atlanta Braves were fighting for their 2024 season on Wednesday night in San Diego against the Padres.
Pitcher Max Fried quite literally took one for the team during the MLB playoff elimination game, as Padres superstar Fernando Tatis Jr. accidentally hit a line drive right into Fried’s backside.
It’s hard to tell exactly where Tatis accidentally hit Fried’s posterior region, whether it was right on the butt or on his hip. However, it sure didn’t look pleasant.
It was a solid hit by Tatis, but equal kudos to Fried for hanging in there after getting accidentally blasted in the buttocks region.
That’s playoff baseball for you!
