Minor leaguer gets RBI hit with absurd 1-handed swing

George Wolkow managed to improvise, adapt, and overcome during Tuesday’s game.

Wolkow, a 19-year-old outfielder who plays in the Chicago White Sox organization for the Single-A Kannapolis Cannon Ballers, went viral for a ludicrous play this week. The Cannon Ballers hosted the Augusta GreenJackets on Tuesday at Atrium Health Ballpark in Kannapolis, N.C.

During the bottom of the first inning, Wolkow was up at the plate with runners on first and second and one out. Wolkow attempted to call for time before the first pitch of the at-bat, but the home plate umpire did not grant it.

As a result, Wolkow, who had already taken a step out of the box, took a one-handed hack at the incoming pitch. By some kind of miracle, Wolkow not only made contact with the ball but shot it down the first base line for an infield single. With the throw coming to first, the lead runner (who was attempting to steal third before the pitch) was able to come all the way around to score.

Here is the ridiculous video.
