Rhys Hoskins taunts Mets with slow trot after home run

Rhys Hoskins got his revenge. 

The Philadelphia Phillies slugger hit a home run off New York Mets reliever Jacob Rhame, a day after the pitcher threw behind his head in a 9-0 blowout. To celebrate, Hoskins took his sweet, sweet time jogging around the bases — taking a full 34.23 seconds to reach home plate.

Hoskins’ trot was the slowest in the MLB this season, per ESPN. 

If you throw at Rhys Hoskins in one game, and he homers off of you in the next game—he’s going to take his time rounding the bases
