so close but so far😭
The bat has enough power behind it. The direction is the problem: a batter sends the ball deep down the left-field line, only for it to hook just outside the yellow foul pole.
Fuzzy's baseball clip then cuts from almost-celebration to an awkward swing at a low pitch in the dirt. Strikeout. There is barely time to recover from the missed home run before the at-bat is over.
Posted on the baseball highlights channel under the title "so close but so far😭", the Short drew an estimated 366,000 views in its first day, compared with roughly 24,000 for Fuzzy's usual Short.
The on-screen caption plays with a familiar baseball expectation: after a long foul ball, perhaps the next swing will straighten things out. Here, it does not.
But the first swing is still occupying viewers. Several comments focus on the ball's path around the pole, with some arguing that it crossed out of play fair. Fuzzy's zoomed-in replay gives that fleeting, consequential detail another look.

Looked fair not by the spot it landed but how it would’ve flown to end there.
