Tampa Bay Rays infielder Junior Caminero nearly sent a line drive straight into an umpire during a game, with the ball reportedly traveling at 111.1 mph.
The hard-hit ball came directly toward the umpire, who reacted quickly and managed to avoid being struck.
The dramatic moment was captured on video, showing just how little time the umpire had to get out of the ball’s path.
A line drive at that speed can reach the area behind the batter in a fraction of a second, making the umpire’s quick reaction critical in avoiding a potentially serious injury.
