Luke Voit Somehow Caught a Pitch That Hit Him

The old cliché says that every time you go to the ballpark, you’ll see something you haven’t seen before. That was certainly true for fans at Saturday’s Triple A game between the Syracuse Mets and Buffalo Bisons. 

In the bottom of the third, Buffalo pitcher Paxton Schultz threw a slider that got away from him and ran inside on Syracuse first baseman Luke Voit. Voit tried to hop out of the way but the pitch was too far inside for him to avoid. As he instinctively dropped his front elbow to protect his ribs, he actually caught the ball between his elbow and torso.
