There are not too many times baseball fans get to witness an MLB hitter called out for “abandonment” while attempting to safely reach first base.
On Thursday, the unusually rare put-out took place in the seventh inning of Kansas City’s matchup against Seattle.
Royals outfielder MJ Melendez made a sliding attempt to snag Seattle’s Dylan Moore sinking line drive into left field. Despite getting a glove on the ball, Melendez was unable to make the clean grab.
