Foul Ball Gone Wild: Miami’s Third Base Coach Takes a Hit and Scores… a Broken Leg? 🤕⚾️
TL;DR; During a Miami Marlins game, a foul ball goes rogue and lands the team’s third base coach, Jody Reed, on the injury list with a shattered leg. Ouch! 😱
There’s something about a baseball game that gives us all the feels – the roar of the crowd, the crack of the bat, and… the sight of a coach getting walloped by a rogue foul ball? 😳 Yep, that happened.
Jody Reed, the third base coach for the Miami Marlins, was just minding his own business at the ever-so-lively Busch Stadium, probably contemplating whether to send the runner or hold them up. Suddenly, Jesus Sanchez took a swing, sending Dakota Hudson’s pitch careening directly towards him. And as fate would have it, that ball made its mark. Right. On. His. Leg. CRACK!
You ever seen a movie where time slows down, and everyone’s gasping in horror, hoping the impending doom magically changes course? Imagine that. But this isn’t a movie – this was real life. 😩
It reminds us of that one time your friend tried to impress everyone with a cool trick on their skateboard, only to end up with their face in a pie. Except, in this scenario, replace the pie with a baseball, and the face with… well, Jody Reed’s leg.
The immediate aftermath? One broken leg and probably an internal monologue of, “Well, that escalated quickly.” Seriously, what are the odds? 🤨 This incident begs the question, are baseball diamonds just glorified danger zones for the unsuspicious? And how many baseball coaches now have second thoughts about standing so close to the action?
As of now, Marlins fans and basically everyone with a bit of empathy are sending their best wishes and probably a few “Get well soon” balloons to Reed. After all, you don’t witness a coach down moment like that every day. And while the Marlins will need to find a replacement for their injured third base coach in the coming weeks, we hope Reed makes a swift recovery.
Perhaps this will lead to a new line of baseball coach gear – you know, something a bit more armored? 🛡️

So, now we ask you – with baseball being America’s pastime and all, should there be more safety protocols or protective gear in place for those in the line of fire? Especially, when that fire is a speeding baseball? 🤔🔥⚾️
