Philadelphia Phillies J.T. Realmuto reacts after being robbed of a home run by Houston Astros center fielder Chas McCormick in the ninth inning during Game 5 of the World Series at Citizens Bank Park on Thursday, Nov. 3, 2022, in Philadelphia.Pitcher José Urquidy and the rest of the men in the Astros’ bullpen, which is elevated above the home bullpen in center field, didn’t have a vantage point to see whether McCormick had caught the ball. They assumed it was an extra-base hit.
“And then I was saying, ‘Man, I hope it's not too high off the wall because that's a double or maybe a triple with Realmuto running,’ and especially tough because we've been trying to play the caroms of the wall here and you don't really know as a visiting team,” Baker said. “McCormick's always bragged about his basketball skills, and so I guess I got to believe him.”
In the sixth inning, McCormick pulled up on Bryson Stott’s fly ball to right-center, thinking that right fielder Kyle Tucker had called for the ball. It nearly cost the Astros a hit before Tucker lunged forward and made the catch.
