You truly never know what you're going to see at a given baseball game. Mariners pitcher Logan Gilbert was certainly proof of that on Wednesday.

Catching a screaming line drive in his jersey? Yeah, that happened.

In one of the wilder (and weirder) plays we'll see this season, Athletics right fielder Carlos Cortes had T-Mobile Park so confused when he hit a 107.8 mph line drive right back at Gilbert in the first inning. Gilbert reacted as if the ball had hit him and ricocheted elsewhere. It did not.

As Gilbert was spinning around, he quickly realized that the ball went straight into his jersey. The crowd celebrated as if it would be a line out. But a rarely used MLB rule came into play there instead.

Though Gilbert technically caught the ball without it hitting the ground or the wall, it would not count as an out. Instead, the play was ruled dead and Cortes was awarded an infield single.

MLB rules have a protocol for when a ball inadvertently makes its way into a uniform.

If a batted or thrown ball inadvertently goes inside a player or coach’s uniform, lodges in the catcher’s face mask or paraphernalia, or is intentionally placed inside a player’s uniform (e.g., in a pants pocket), the umpire shall call “Time.” The umpire will, using common sense and fair play, place all runners in such a manner that, in the umpire’s judgment, will nullify the action of the ball going out of play. That being said, if the umpire determines that the player placed the ball in his uniform intentionally for the purpose of deceiving a base runner, the umpire will place all runners at least one base (or more if warranted, in the umpire’s judgment in order to nullify the action of the ball being put out of play) from the base they originally occupied. In no case may any outs be recorded on such play. Note that the determination whether a ball lodged in equipment or was placed in a uniform is not subject to Replay Review.

I don't know: Taking 108 mph to the torso should count as an out. But credit to that umpiring crew for being quick to correctly apply the rule there.
