Baseball outfielder Akil Baddoo of the Detroit Tigers got caught stealing base on Monday in what was anything but a routine play.

Instead of being merely tagged out, Baddoo suffered the painful indignity of taking a direct hit to his crotch first. The ball bounced from his privates and into the glove of Cleveland Guardians second baseman Andrs Gimnez, who applied the tag.

Check out the footage and try not to flinch during the slow-mo replay:

Baddoo may have gotten the last laugh, however, as the Tigers beat the Guardians, 6-2.
