That bat flip clearly caught attention.
Morgan Wallen, while preparing for a concert in Canada, threw a baseball bat at Neesha Bautista, the wife of MLB player Jose Bautista, mimicking the athlete’s iconic bat flip. This playful moment unfolded on the second night of his “I’m The Problem” tour in Ontario.
In a video shared online, fans could see the duo at Rogers Center, chatting and sharing laughs before Wallen launched the bat. Neesha’s reaction was immediate. She exclaimed, “Ah-sh*t!” before anyone had a chance to check on her.
Despite the mishap, both Wallen and Bautista managed to joke about it for the cameras right before Wallen kicked off his performance.

Bautista is well-known for his bat flips, especially during a memorable three-run homer in the 2015 American League Division Series that propelled the Blue Jays forward.
Neesha shared a humorous video of the incident on her Instagram story with laughing and wide-eyed emojis, captioning it, “When Morgan Wallen bat flips your husband’s bat and hits you.”
Later, Bautista downplayed the incident, saying his wife was “completely fine” after what was, he insisted, an accident. “I told him to do a bat flip, and my wife ended up getting hit by the bat,” he explained, laughing off the situation.
Wallen has yet to address the incident directly but did post a clip of the bat flip on Instagram.
At 32, Wallen has been in the spotlight for various reasons lately, including the release of his latest album, “I’m The Problem.” His past controversies, like using a racial slur in 2021 and being arrested for an incident in Tennessee, have kept him in the headlines.
Despite the challenges, he seems to keep moving forward, even if sometimes, quite literally, he might miss the mark.
