In a recent game, Tyler Fitzgerald of the Giants hit a home run aided by A's outfielder Tyler Soderstrom's mistake. Soderstrom attempted to catch a fly ball just short of the left field fence but instead deflected it over the fence while jumping. This unusual play led to Fitzgerald’s first home run since April, much to the amusement of his teammates and shock of Soderstrom. The large warning track at Sutter Health Park may have influenced Soderstrom's misjudgment in the catch attempt.
Tyler Fitzgerald hit a home run in a game, aided by A's outfielder Tyler Soderstrom's misjudgment. Soderstrom leaped but knocked the ball over the fence.
The fly ball appeared to be a few feet short of the fence, but Soderstrom's attempt caused the ball to bounce off his glove and over the wall.
Fitzgerald's teammates found humor in his good fortune while Soderstrom exhibited shock and disappointment at the unfortunate moment.
The unusually large warning track at the West Sacramento ballpark may have played a role in Soderstrom's miscalculation during the catch attempt.
