His bat flip was a little off-key.
Morgan Wallen hurled a baseball bat at MLB star José Bautista’s wife while mimicking the former Toronto Blue Jays’ famous bat flip during a pre-concert walkout in Canada.
The now-viral faux pas happened as the country star, known for his star-studded arena entrances, walked alongside the baseball legend during the second night of his “I’m the Problem” tour in Ontario Friday night.
The video shows the duo chatting backstage at Rogers Centre before Bautista hands the “Whiskey Glasses” singer the wooden baseball bat, which he swings and then forcefully tosses aside – accidentally hitting the slugger’s wife, Neisha, who was standing nearby filming.
“Oh sh–t!” Neisha screamed in pain before someone asked if she was OK.
Both men – unaware Bautista’s wife had been hurt by his failed iconic move – hammed it up for the stadium cameras before the “Sand In My Boots” crooner dashed off to start his show.
Bautista has his own bat-flip history, of course.
He famously chucked his bat following a three-run homer that sent the Blue Jays to the next round in Game 5 of the American League Division Series Playoffs in 2015 against the Texas Rangers.
The Dominican player’s wife posted her first-person video to her Instagram stories, writing, “When Morgan Wallen bat flips your husband’s bat and hits you,” adding laughing and peeking eyes emojis.
Bautista later told ETalkCTV that his wife “is completely fine” and the entire ordeal was an “accident.”
“I talked him into doing the bat flip, and funny enough, my wife ended up getting hit by the bat,” he said.
“But she’s completely fine. It was a complete accident and she’s totally okay.”
Wallen has not commented publicly on the blunder but shared a clip of the walkout on Instagram.
The 32-year-old country sensation released his latest album, “I’m the Problem,” in March following a series of headline-grabbing scandals.
A 2021 video showed the musician using the N-word, and he was arrested last year for throwing a chair off a rooftop bar in Tennessee.
He then abruptly bolted from the stage at the end of “Saturday Night Live” in March.
