Detroit Tigers pitcher Rick Porcello lost his grip on the baseball during a pitch in the second inning of Tuesday's spring training game against Atlanta. As a result, Porcello's 0-2 pitch to Braves batter B.J. Upton went straight up in the air and fell several feet short of home plate.
Porcello ended up striking out Upton, but it looks like he's got some more work to do to get ready for the season. Good thing there's another week of spring training.
