On Thursday, a player in the KBO League accomplished a rare feat that is typically only seen at the Little League level.
With runners on first and third in the bottom of the 4th inning of a KBO game on Thursday, a batter laid down a well-placed bunt that forced the pitcher to come off the mound to make a play. The first baseman could not catch the throw, and the ball slowly trickled into right field.
The runner from third scored with ease. After the right fielder had trouble handling the ball, he had to throw home to get the runner who had come all the way around from first to score. That throw was also off the mark, which resulted in a three-run, bunt home run for the batter.

The play was not scored as a home run. It was a base hit with a bunch of errors, but a bunt homer is still impressive to have on your baseball resume.
