Vanderbilt pitcher screams at batter like a maniac, gets hit with instant karma one pitch later

LSU Baseball Head Coach Jay Johnson joins 'America Reports' to discuss the team's 18-4 victory over Florida, capturing its first title since 2009.

It’s that time of year, boys and girls. We’re on the doorstep of the College World Series, otherwise known as the most underrated tournament of the year. 

We always hype up March Madness, and for good reason. Obviously, that’s the GOAT. I get it. I watch it. I enjoy it. 

But I’ve long said that college baseball deserves some more shine. ESPN owns all the rights, and completely buries it for 11 months out of the year until June rolls around. It’s disgusting. It’s a disservice to the fans, to the players, and to the schools. 

I’m not here to rag on ESPN, though, although I’d very much like to continue. Nope. Instead, I’d like to head on out to the SEC Tournament, where Vanderbilt pitcher Connor Fennell got the biggest dose of karma in the history of sports during Tuesday’s opener against Kentucky.

I realize that may sound hyperbolic, but … yeah, I’m not exaggerating. 

Take a look:

My God. Amazing. This Connor Fennell is cooked. He may never recover from that. It’s one of the most embarrassing things I’ve ever seen on a pitching mound, and I once played for the worst D-III college baseball team in the country. 

Yelling, "You’re f----ing mine, let’s go!" after throwing an 89 MPH fastball is truly barbaric behavior. Do you need how slow 89 is in 2026? It was slow when I last played a DECADE ago.
