In June, Florida State infielder Cal Fisher hit a home run that struck an opposing St. John's bullpen player in the head during the Seminoles' 5-4 loss in the Tallahassee Regional final.
On The Pat McAfee Show, host Pat McAfee broke down the wild footage during a sports bloopers segment, marveling at the sheer improbability of the collision. McAfee didn't hold back his excitement, shouting, "Florida State's Cal Fisher hits a big ba- boom. Yeah, I like it. Not only is he gonna hit a home run and go ahead and put another point on the board, uh, he's gonna hit a guy right in the fucking head."
While traditional sports analysts debated bullpen safety and the terrifying potential for injury from unprotected line drives, McAfee leaned entirely into the chaos of the clip. He celebrated the bizarre physics of the play rather than offering hand-wringing commentary, treating the incident as a legendary, laugh-out-loud moment of baseball misfortune.
As Cal Fisher and the Florida State program move past the regional heartbreaker, this viral home run is guaranteed to resurface on blooper reels for years to come—a permanent reminder to bullpen catchers everywhere to keep their eyes on the sky.
