WATCH: Giants catching coach Alex Burg survives scary moment in MLB game
On Monday, the San Francisco Giants unveiled a new and fancy entrance for their closer Camilo Doval which featured a choreographed show with LED lights and unique spotlight capabilities. Unfortunately, when they did so, Doval had just thrown his last fastball warmup pitch, sending it directly to catching coach Alex Burg when the lights in the ballpark shut off completely.
It was a scary moment when the ball came towards him at around 90 mph in complete darkness, but fortunately, Burg caught the ball clean. After getting plenty of worried messages from family and friends, Burg, who had nothing on his chest to protect him, assured everyone that he’s just fine.
“It was a four-seam fastball from Doval, so you have a chance to catch it,” Burg said. “If it would have been a sinker or a slider I probably would have died. No chance I catch those because they’re so nasty. But the four-seamer stays pretty true, especially in the ‘pen. That gave me a little bit better of a shot to catch it.”
