Kiké Hernández Pokes Fun At Himself For Crashing Into Outfield Wall

Kiké Hernández either was putting in 110 percent effort when he chased down a ball in center field Thursday night, or he forgot where the wall was.

Texas Rangers infielder Isiah Kiner-Falefa launched a home run to center field in the bottom of the seventh inning. Off the bat, it was tough to tell whether the ball would have enough to clear the fence, so Hernández gave chase.

As the Boston Red Sox center fielder sprinted, it appeared he didn’t pay any mind to the approaching wall, and he went barreling into it at full speed as the ball cleared the fence.

The clip made the rounds on social media, and even Hernández got a good laugh out of it.

The good news is that he seems fine. The bad news for the Red Sox is they ultimately lost 4-1 in the series opener.
