Fans were left horrified on Tuesday night after a baseball official’s disgusting act.

During a minor league game between the Kannapolis Cannon Ballers and Carolina Mudcats, the Cannon Ballers’ ‘bat dog’ defecated on the field near home plate.

A staffer at the minor league stadium was nearby to clean up the mess, but opted for a pretty shocking strategy.

Rather than rushing to get some sort of bag or paper towel, he grabbed the poop with his bare hand as he pushed it onto some sort of notebook or clipboard.

He then scurried off the field to get rid of the feces.

Fans online were mortified after video of the incident surfaced to X.

‘Fire the guy who picked up s*** with his bare hands immediately,’ one said.

‘Picking up dog s*** with your bare hands is insane,’ another added.

‘Did he just bare hand it then touch the gate? Then probably everything else,’ a third asked.

And a fourth joked, ‘Give him the brown glove award,’ as they referenced baseball’s Gold Glove award for the best fielders.

The Cannon Ballers, a single-A affiliate of the White Sox, would win the game 3-0.
