Baseball analyst Chris Dimino comments on Mitch Bratt's horror outing on the mound vs USA: "That kid had a bit of pee pee running down his leg"

19-year old Mitch Bratt has the story of a lifetime to relay to his grandchildren. Unfortunately, for the Team Canada pitcher, he may not be remembered fondly for it.

Team Canada are in Pool C at the 2023 World Baseball Classic. After opening up their tournament with a commanding 18-8 win over Great Britain, the Canadians rode into their March 13 battle with Team USA on high spirits.

Making the start was 19-year old Mitch Bratt of Newmarket, Ontario. Bratt, a Texas Rangers prospect, has never seen MLB action. He did, however, post a 2.45 ERA over 18 starts in Single-A last season.

Captained by Los Angeles Angels star Mike Trout, Team USA boasts some of the top talents in the world. Los Angeles Dodgers outfielder Mookie Betts led off the bottom of the second inning with a single against Bratt, and his countrymen never looked back.

Team USA loaded the bases before St. Louis Cardinals third baseman Nolan Arenado lined a double off of Mitch Bratt, who had yet to register an out. Bratt was pulled by Team Canada manager Ernie Witt in the bottom of the first after allowing 4 runs, 3 hits, and 3 walks.

The experience proved to be overwhelming for Bratt, who was seen holding his head down in the Canadian dugout following an emotional exit from the game. Team USA went on to score 9 runs in the first inning, 6 of which were attributed to Bratt. Team USA emerged from the match with a 12-1 victory.

Speaking on Sportskeeda's Ballfather podcast, analyst Chris Dimino poked fun at the embarrassed young Bratt. Speaking to host Reggie Roberts, Dimino said:

"I think that kid (Bratt) had a little bit of pee pee running down his leg"

After his sordid outing, Bratt now has an ERA of no less than 162.00 for the tournament. It is unclear if the young man will be making an appearance as Canada take on Colombia on March 14 at Chase Field, home of the Arizona Diamondbacks.

Mitch Bratt should take WBC disaster as a learning opportunity

Although no pitcher, young or old, likes to be pulled before they can even complete an inning, Bratt needs to keep it in perspective. Any 19-year old who can ascend to the point where he is facing MLB hitters should be proud, and there is a long way to go ahead.
