That's right, Seager's hit didn't crack the bat in half or shatter it like you'd expect. He somehow pulled the handle of the bat away from the barrel in one smooth, awesome move. And gave the Rangers the lead while doing it! In a game that was jam-packed with excitement, Seager's strongman moment added one more wild occurrence to the Rangers' 12-6 win.
