No, the battery planned this. Watch the full video on Youtube, there was an incident just before this pitch, and they were unhappy with the umpire.

bitch catcher i play catcher

[John Mott]

it was intentional...watch how the catcher throws up his glove reflexively to catch the ball then pretends he got crossed up.

Ump probably deserved it,

This is called " Putting some blue on the ball"

You are correct and the catcher, Matt Hill, lost a college athletic scholarship for his actions!

Worst acting job. Even if the catcher called curve ball you don't go to the ground unless you think it will hit the dirt. Pitch never broke.

It was done on purpose and apparently the ump sued over it : sports.espn.go.com/espnmag/sto­ry?id=3450245&lpos=spotlight&l­id=tab1pos1

welp, either this kid can't catch for his life, he's pissed at the ump, or it was mis-communication between the catcher and pitcher
