Watch Out!
While batting in a game at the Arizona Fall Classic, Hunter Melton followed through on a swing and released the bat, sending it flying high over the 3rd base dugout and into the opposing bull pen. Thankfully, no one was in the landing area when the bat came down. Hunter might consider a future in javelin, discus, or hammer throw!!!
