The Tigers outfielder was caught stealing in the highest of the second inning against the Guardians on Monday, and he got some pain for his troubles.
Cleveland catcher Mike Zunino’s throw to second tailed just out in front of second baseman Andres Gimenez’s glove — as a substitute hitting Baddoo in a relatively sensitive spot.
The already terrible moment got worse for the 24-year-old outfielder, because the ball bounced into Gimenez’s glove and the infielder applied the tag, with Baddoo essentially assisting in his own out.
“The ball hit him and Giemenez was capable of catch it and tag him,” the Bally Sports broadcasters remarked.
“That’s unbelievable. Are you kidding me?”

Unfortunately for Baddoo, who remained on his hands and knees on the bag, there was no kidding involved.
He finished the sport — a 6-2 Tigers win — going 0-for-4 with a walk and a strikeout on the the day.
Baddoo was a second-round pick by the Twins in 2016, and after Detroit chosen him within the 2020 Rule 5 Draft, Baddoo became an everyday within the Tigers’ lineup for the 2021 season — appearing in 124 games, hitting .259 and compiling a .766 OPS.
This yr, through his first 22 games entering Monday, Baddoo has hit .234 with a .626 OPS, and against the Guardians, he hit No. 6 in Detroit’s lineup.
