Lehigh Valley catcher Andrew Knapp either forgot the pitch he just signaled into his pitcher or was just caught daydreaming. Watch him get drilled in the chest with this fastball pitch...

I blame the pitcher. He never came set before throwing the ball

Absolutely but from the reaction of the batter and pitcher, there seemed to be no one on base. Still, im not sure if that is a legal pitch. Some relief pitchers only go from stretch so it is possible.

Seems like the pitcher had already come set before actually getting the sign. This screwed up the timing. Catcher expected him to go through his motion and come set, so he wasn't ready.
