Outfielder makes an unwanted turn

https://youtu.be/wV99odfoG3Y

Running down a fly ball in a showdown mission, David Dahl suddenly veers left into a weird animation.

He turns away from the ball which drops in for a double. The next batter drives in a run to fail the mission.

THAT is nasty

I assume you were player locked as the pitcher or something? (I don’t showdown so I don’t know)

No, it was a multi-inning challenge. Score three runs, do not give up a run.
At this point I was pitching and “controlling” the defense, except Dahl had a mind of his own running down the ball.
