Umpire Mike Muchlinski hit directly in groin by Santiago Casilla fastball (Video)

Mike Muchlinski didn’t exactly have the most pleasant Thursday afternoon.

Muchlinski was umpiring home plate in the ninth inning of the Oakland Athletics-Minnesota Twins game when A’s catcher Stephen Vogt, who was setting up outside, got fooled by a Santiago Casilla pitch and it hit Muchlinski right in the groin before Vogt could get a glove up.

That can’t have felt good.

Brian Murphy of the St. Paul Pioneer Press reports that it was a 94-mph fastball that Muchlinski took square in the crown jewels but that he remarkably stayed in the game after taking a drink of water.

Regardless though, Vogt was probably the one who felt worst of all, considering that he has been there before.
