Rockies prospect Josh Fuentes made a memorable play he probably wants to forget.
The 24-year-old Hartford Yard Goats infielder faced pitcher Cory Burns of Mets Double-A affiliate Binghamton with two outs in the top of the eighth inning on Friday. Burns looked like he lost his footing and threw a dribbler into the dirt in front of him. As the ball rolled harmless toward the catcher, Fuentes took a practice swing.
That’s a no-no. The umpire called a strike and ended the inning.
The Yard Goats would lose 5-4.
“Made it to sports center dream come true,” Fuentes tweeted.
