Blue Jays Pitcher Chris Bassitt Serves as Bat Boy After Fantasy Football Loss

Bassitt donned a '4-10' jersey on his 36th birthday as part of a team tradition for last-place finishers in their fantasy league.

Chris Bassitt, a Toronto Blue Jays pitcher, took on bat boy duties during a Spring Training game against the New York Yankees as punishment for finishing last in the team's fantasy football league.
Bassitt wore a custom jersey with '4-10', reflecting his fantasy football record, while the Blue Jays secured a 6-4 victory in the game.
The punishment coincided with Bassitt's 36th birthday, adding humor to the lighthearted team tradition.
The Blue Jays' fantasy league is organized by catcher Daulton Varsho, who ensures last-place finishers follow through with their penalties to maintain competitiveness.
Bassitt, coming off a challenging 2024 MLB season with a 4.16 ERA, hopes to improve his performance on the field in 2025.
