MLB Player Gets Hit In The Junk Trying To Steal 2nd

Author Jade Springart

Playing sports is a lot of fun, but can also cause a lot of pain. There’s your typical sports injuries which are never any fun, and then there’s the unfortunate mishaps. Detroit Tigers outfielder Akil Baddoo was the recipient of the latter, unfortunately.

Let’s set the scene: It’s the top of the second, Akil Baddoo gets a one-out walk. The plan is to steal second and advance into scoring position. And that’s when things went south. Cleveland Guardians catcher Mike Zunino throws down to second but he’s a bit off target, and unfortunately for Akil, his junk took the hit. To make matters even worse, the ball bounced off his junk into second baseman Andres Gimenez’s glove which resulted in the out. OUCH. Watch the video below. Thoughts and prayers to Akil’s family jewels.

Jade was born and raised in Detroit Rock City and grew up listening to Led Zeppelin, The Who, Tom Petty, etc. In high school she tried multiple different styles from cheerleader to goth but couldn’t do gymnastics and couldn’t get her eyeliner dark enough. She settled on jeans and a t-shirt, playing sports and making normal situations overly awkward. When she’s not making bad jokes on the radio you can find her shanking golf balls into the woods on the golf course and drinking beers at the bar. She has a strict two shot limit when it comes to tequila. Jade enjoys writing and talking about everything happening in Detroit Rock City, our Detroit sports teams, golf, and her fear of robots.
