Ketel Marte hit this inside-the-park home run Wednesday.

In baseball, when a baseball hits a wall at a weird angle, you never know what could happen next. That was the case for Arizona Diamondbacks’ shortstop Ketel Marte Wednesday at home against the Atlanta Braves.

Marte ripped a ball off the Chase Field wall in right field at just the right angle to have the ball get away from the Braves outfielder. Once the ball rolled away, Marte was off to the races and around the bases for an inside-the-park home run. He also did it right on cue, with the Diamondbacks announcers in the TV booth discussing what craziness can happen when you hit the perfect spot on the wall.

This does lead me back to that age-old question I always have about baseball stadiums. At what point did Major League Baseball decide they were never going to really restrict how an outfield wall can be constructed? Just about every other sport has some uniformity with their field or other playing surface dimensions, but baseball has some strange outfield designs with the walls. Some walls are gigantic, others are short. Then there are the bizarre angles some of those walls have, which create the uniqueness of the baseball stadium and lead to moments like this that can pop out of nowhere. It certainly made a fun highlight, and one that worked well for Marte and the Diamondbacks.
