WATCH Minnesota Twins Gary Sanchez almost gets whacked in the face by on-deck batter

By Thomas Gamba-Ellis Modified 06 Sep 2022 Follow Us Comment Share Minnesota Twins v Los Angeles Dodgers Minnesota Twins catcher Gary Sanchez had an extremely close call when walking back to the dugout during yesterday's game. Twins center fielder Gilberto Celestino was on-deck taking warmup swings. One of his swings missed Sanchez's face by mere inches.

This was a full, 100% swing by Celestino. An impact could have ended Sanchez's career. Fans are disputing whose fault it was. At first glance, Gary Sanchez appears not to be paying attention. His head is down, and he is not really looking around. However, Gilberto Celestino is not in the on-deck circle. Celestino is abount a foot in front of the circle. If he had been in the circle, his swing likely would not have been so close. BenWohleber@benwohleber@JomboyMedia The batter was in the wrong, WTF wasn’t he in the batter circle?

If Sanchez were paying attention, he could have moved out of the way. If Celestino were in the on-deck circle, the swing would not have been near Sanchez at all. Nevertheless, the Minnesota Twins are currently in a crucial playoff race in the American League Central. There are three teams in the division with a shot of winning it.
