Ronald Acuna Jr. got struck out by Marlins catcher Jacob Stallings and couldn't stop laughing
Jacob Stallings is not a pitcher.
He is, in fact, the catcher for the Miami Marlins, and he got called in to be a position player pitcher during a 14-6 blowout loss to the Atlanta Braves.
But he’s the latest position player to get a strikeout, and this one was a biggie: He struck out … Ronald Acuna Jr., who has been known to hit bombs.
The MVP candidate stepped to the plate, watched a 46-MPH eephus pitch come in for a strike, fouled off a 78-MPH fastball, and then watched as an 85-MPH pitch caught the strike zone.
The laughter is the best:
