During the first official game of the MLB season, fans in Seoul saw something they won’t see again any time soon.
As the Dodgers and Padres faced off against each other in South Korea to begin the year, San Diego’s Jake Cronenworth went to field a routine ground ball hit by Gavin Lux.
While this seemed like a perfectly normal defensive play, something strange happened. Even though it seemed the first baseman did everything right, for whatever reason, the ball somehow ended up going right through his glove.

It is unclear how the ball was able to make its way past the webbing of Cronenworth’s glove as cleanly as it did.
But even if it wasn’t necessarily his fault, it counted as an error against the Padres infielder.
Additionally, this bizarre blunder gave the Dodgers the lead, 3-2, in the eighth inning after Teoscar Hernandez scored on the play. Los Angeles went on to win, 5-2.
