VIDEO: Miguel Castro Gets Ketel Marte With One of the Most Embarrassing Strikes Ever

One of the worst nightmares for today's athletes is making an embarrassing mistake. After all, we live in a world where highlights can be uploaded to social media and live forever in infamy.

Well, that nightmare came true for Arizona Diamondbacks infielder Ketel Marte on Wednesday night. Sometimes batters can look foolish whenever they're caught swinging in the dirt. But what happened to Marte was much worse.

Marte was up against New York Mets righty Miguel Castro in the bottom of the 7th inning in a 6-6 tie game. With one out and a 0-0 count, Castro swung so hard at the first pitch that he saw that he ended up face down in the dirt.

If there's one thing about Twitter baseball fans, it's that they're absolutely ruthless whenever it comes to bloopers.

One thing is for certain: there's no way that Marte will ever forget about this moment. Fortunately for him, he's actually having a decent 2021 MLB season that makes the lowlight more digestible. The 2019 All-Star has 4 home runs and 13 RBI in 75 at-bats this season while slashing .347/.390/.587. But Castro clearly got the better of him during this meeting.
