Atlanta Braves minor leaguer Xavier Avery took an embarrassing stumble out of the batters box as he struck out swinging during Tuesday night's Triple-A game in the International League.
In the sixth inning, the Gwinnett Braves right fielder tried to check his swing on a 2-2 pitch. Not only did Avery go to far on the swing, but he lost his balance and went stumbling out of the batter's box. Avery couldn't stop until he finally fell to the ground nearly 20 feet from home plate.
