Wade LeBlanc runs over third base coach, throws pick offs and balks, a breakdown

In a tied game between the Miami Marlins and Baltimore Orioles, Miami starting pitcher Wade LeBlanc takes the mound in the middle innings. With a runner on base, LeBlanc immediately goes into a series of pickoff attempts, choosing to focus on keeping the runner close rather than throwing pitches. He successfully picks the runner off not once, but twice, showcasing his crafty moves to hold the runner. However, LeBlanc's fixation on the baserunner proves costly, as the next pitch results in a single that scores a run, giving the Orioles the lead. Undeterred, LeBlanc continues his pickoff attempts, at one point accidentally running into and knocking over the third base coach who was set up to relay signs. LeBlanc apologizes profusely, checking on the coach before returning to the mound. Unfazed, LeBlanc keeps up his barrage of pickoff moves, even executing a slick spin maneuver to try and catch the runner napping. The runner, Alberto, gives him a thumbs up, seemingly amused by LeBlanc's antics. Unfortunately, LeBlanc's efforts ultimately prove futile, as the runner is safe each time. As the inning progresses, LeBlanc's focus on the baserunner becomes increasingly erratic. At one point, he appears to "box out" the runner, disrupting his lead and causing a balk to be called. The umpire has seen enough and Baltimore manager Brandon Hyde comes out to remove LeBlanc from the game. "We have to take you out, bud," Hyde tells LeBlanc. "Kind of embarrassing everyone out here and I don't even think that you want to stay in. You threw more pickups than pitches, so goodbye and let's do better next time." LeBlanc's unusual outing, marked by his relentless pickoff attempts and lack of effective pitching, has become a memorable moment in the game. The Marlins will hope he can bounce back and regain his focus in his next appearance on the mound.
