Ned Yost IV, the third base coach of the Milwaukee Brewers Triple-A affiliate Colorado Spring Sky Sox, might need to think about investing in some new cleats.
During last night's game against Nashville, Yost was attempting to stop a runner from going home on a hit into the outfield but face-planted onto the turf when he threw his hands up.
