With the world largely hunkered down during the global COVID-19 pandemic, athletes everywhere have been forced to get creative with their workouts as they try to stay in shape for the eventual return of their day jobs — whenever that may be.
Los Angeles Dodgers right-handed pitcher Joe Kelly was just trying to get some work in too. According to his wife, Ashley, he was practicing his changeup by throwing at a gigantic target in his yard, but unfortunately for him, it ended in absolute disaster.
And thanks to the video Ashley recently shared on her Instagram story, we have video evidence of just how poorly this went. Solidly misses the target, the sound of broken glass, “Oppp.”

“Wondering how quarantine’s going?” Ashley says in the video while walking toward the scene of the crime.
And with the camera pointed at the shattered glass in a bedroom, she sarcastically continues: “That’s cool. Rad.”
Not great for someone whose job is to throw a ball at a very specific target. Maybe he should keep practicing. And maybe he also should consider moving his target away from the house or at least not put it right in front of a window.
