A KBO game took a strange turn during a sac fly that brought in two runs, but the spotlight quickly shifted to the Eagles batter whose antics at the plate stole the show. His reactions were exaggerated and entertaining, making every pitch look like an event. After a borderline strike, he gave a dramatic shuffle and head shake. On a series of foul balls, he smiled, stuck out his tongue, and mixed in some one-handed practice swings. He finally drew a walk, gave a subtle fist pump, and trotted to first with the bases loaded.
The next batter lifted a deep fly to left-center. Both outfielders charged, but only one came out of the scramble with the catch. It was unclear who made the play, adding chaos to the basepaths. The runner from third scored, and the guy from second rounded with no throw. Confusion followed. The defensive team appealed, thinking one or both runners left early. First they threw to third, then second, filing two appeals. The umpires huddled, reviewed the play, and confirmed both runners were clean. Both had waited for the catch before tagging up.
It was only the eighth time in KBO history that two runs scored on a sac fly. The quirky at-bat, wild catch, and messy appeal made it one of the more entertaining sequences in recent memory.
