Brett Phillips came in to pitch during his Tampa Bay Rays’ blowout loss to the Toronto Blue Jays on Friday, and his appearance was hilarious.

Phillips is a versatile player who plays all three outfield spots. But he made his MLB pitching debut since his team was down 10-1 in the ninth. From his pitching motion to his entire attitude, everything was funny.

Let’s start with what a goofball he looked like warming up:

Then there was his run from the bullpen to the field:

And here is how he looked like pitching from a stretch:

He actually got called for a balk on that one.

Now take a look at his motion:

Nobody had more fun losing than Phillips. That was great.

In all, Phillips gave up two hits, two walks and a run in his one inning on the mound. He touched 94 mph on his fastball but mostly threw lollipops. And he gave the fans a laugh.

Phillips also has the greatest laugh in sports, too.
