## Caption

In a wild moment from the KBO League, the batter called timeout at the very last second, and the umpire granted it. The pitcher, however, never saw the timeout and continued with his delivery. With the ball already coming toward the plate, the catcher had to react instantly to protect the umpire behind him.

The catcher reached out with his bare hand to stop the pitch, but the ball hit the batter’s bat instead. Somehow, the bat may have actually saved the catcher’s hand from taking the full force of the pitch. A last-second timeout turned into complete chaos behind the plate—and a moment that probably looked even crazier in real time.
