Houston Astros’ Rookie Catcher Gets Caught on Hidden Ball Trick Then Hit in Face for First Career RBI
To say yesterday was a bad day for Houston Astros catcher Max Stassi is an understatement. First, he was tagged out by the ol' hidden ball trick, then he was beaned in the face by Texas Rangers pitcher Tanner Scheppers.
The only redeeming thing (if there is one) about getting hit in the face is that the bases were loaded, so that pitch actually forced a runner home -- giving Stassi his first career RBI.
