Reds’ Spencer Steer Hit Little League Home Run Thanks to Laughably Bad Relay Throw

There are few things in baseball better than a Little League home run and, boy, did we get a good one Wednesday afternoon in Atlanta.

In case this phrase is new to you, a Little League home run is when a batter circles the bases thanks to an error (or two). We saw one just a few weeks ago when San Francisco's Mike Yastrzemski walked off a win over the Twins.

On Wednesday, Cincinnati's Spencer Steer hit one in the top of the first inning thanks to one of the worst relay throws you'll ever see by a major leaguer.

Look at this toss by Atlanta's Zack Short:

That throw by Zack Short might be the worst throw I’ve ever seen by a professional baseball player. https://t.co/nVIPVyejhx

This is what my relay throws would look like if I tried to play baseball. https://t.co/9QHr1cdpUV
