VIDEO: Braves Prospect Tucker Davidson Posts Hilarious TikTok of His Quarantined Throwing Session
By Brady Williams
As the COVID-19 pandemic continues, fans, players, and organizations are all adjusting to their new self-quarantined lives across the sporting world. For many, it's been a difficult transition. Without a proper Spring Training, a lot of Major League Baseball prospects have to find new ways to prepare themselves. However, for Atlanta Braves prospect Tucker Davidson, the solution he posted on TikTok Thursday was truly simple, but catastrophically dangerous. Male viewers, be warned.

The 23-year-old pitcher showed he can hit the broad side of a barn, and the rebound was equally spot-on.
In fact, it was actually dead-nuts accurate.
Davidson was optioned to Triple-A Gwinnett this year, and was looking set to stay there for the majority of the season. Now, the postponement of baseball operations has him embracing social distancing and using a wall for a catcher. It's just one of the many sacrifices players around the nation (and the world) have been forced to make.
The #Braves today optioned LHP Tucker Davidson, LHP Philip Pfeifer, C William Contreras and OF Cristian Pache to Triple-A Gwinnett. The club now has 48 players on the spring training roster.

He probably didn't expect that sacrifice to pack such a punch. It's unfortunate for Davidson, but the TikTok product is phenomenal, and we could all use a laugh while we're holed up waiting for sports to return.
