#shorts Baseball’s bat-flipping issue appears to be getting re-litigated.
Slugger Drake Siens, playing for Gustavus Adolphus College in Minnesota, got ejected from Monday’s game against St. Olaf College for an absolutely cinematic bat flip. Siens uncorked a no-doubt-about-it solo homer to left field in the third inning and unleashed a bat flip for the ages, chucking it down the third-base line with both hands.
Unfortunately for Siens, he had a rude surprise waiting for him as soon as he rounded the bases. Siens was promptly ejected from the game by the home-plate umpire once he touched the plate. Gustavus Adolphus manager Brad Baker also got tossed for then arguing Siens’ ejection. Watch the entire sequence.
