The Padres and Mariners met Wednesday night in the final matchup of the Vedder Cup Trophy. Seattle held a 4-2 lead heading into the seventh inning, with both teams fighting in what has been a competitive series. Padres first baseman Josh Naylor stepped up in the seventh, looking to spark a rally.
What followed was the most bizarre play of the season. Naylor hit a ball off the bottom tip of his bat that looked certain to land in foul territory. Instead, a crazy top spin dragged it back into fair territory, where the Mariners catcher grabbed it and fired to first for the out. Fans and broadcasters were left speechless by Josh Naylor’s bizarre play.

The moment quickly went viral online. The Mariners went on to secure a 4-3 win. Josh Naylor still managed a run, but the shocking play stole the night.
Shocking Out Adds To Josh Naylor’s Unlikely Season
The unlucky play overshadowed what has been a strong season for Naylor. He is averaging .286 with 16 home runs, 73 RBIs, and 22 stolen bases in 2025. His production has made him a key piece of the Padres’ lineup.
Earlier this week, Naylor, who is considered one of the slowest players in the league, became the only player in MLB history under 6 feet tall and weighing at least 235 pounds to steal 20 or more bases in a season.
Josh Naylor, who was traded to Mariners from Diamondbacks last month, had 25 stolen bases in 598 games across six seasons before this year.
That combination has made him one of baseball’s most unlikely base-stealers, and now the face of the most shocking viral out of 2025.
