This wasn’t quite that six-pitch at-bat in which Bryce Harper barely took the bat off his shoulders.
But it’s something!
Randy Arozarena stepped to the plate in the first inning of the Tampa Bay Rays’ game against the San Francisco Giants and faced off against Ryan Walker. As you’ll see from the video below, he stepped away as one ball whizzed in for a strike. Then, he kept it on his shoulders for the third ball and stepped away for ball four.
He must have known something, or he was daring Walker to throw a strike. Either way, so quirky:
The pitcher's name is Walker so I guess Randy Arozarena decided to just let him do it. pic.twitter.com/1w3mmqmgDs

Very odd sequence of events for Randy Arozarena to start this game… #Rays
