Former San Francisco Giants slugger and World Series champion Pablo Sandoval is still playing professional baseball.
The veteran switch hitter is currently playing in the Mexican Baseball League. Earlier today, he was seen trucking a catcher in a home-plate collision.
"Pablo Sandoval just demolishing the catcher at home plate in a Mexican League game"-@KNBR
It was a crazy collision, but it looked like Sandoval had zero intentions of sliding. Hopefully, the catcher is okay, and there are no long-term injuries suffered.
This type of play is outlawed across Major League Baseball after a collision at the plate that caused Buster Posey to miss significant time due to head trauma. This is unacceptable by Sandoval, and he should be disciplined for his actions in some manner.
Many fans reacted to the wild collision at the plate. One fan asked if Sandoval nearly killed the catcher. It certainly did not look good from the video. Hopefully, everyone involved is okay.
Another fan called Sandoval the Venezuelan nightmare after his collision at the plate. It would certainly be a nightmare scenario if one saw him barrelling down the baseline for a home-plate collision.
Overall, this was a crazy home-plate collision and is rarely seen in today's game. Hopefully, the catcher is able to recover from the injury.
