That's what happened to Minnesota Twins' left fielder Jordan Schafer on Wednesday night when he dug in to face the Royals' Wade Davis. Davis released a 95-mph fastballs that just kept rising to the point of it being almost an entire Jordan Schafer body-length over his head.

Check out the reaction on Schafer's face as he tracks the ball up the screen. That look is a "I hope I brought more sliding shorts" look.
