Hutton Tries His Hand At Catching
St. Louis Blues goaltender Carter Hutton (in full NHL gear) gave the Cardinals’ pitching machine a go during a weeklong celebration of sports in St. Louis.
In case you weren’t sure Carter Hutton was a baseball fan based on his memorable Winter Classic mask, the St. Louis Blues goaltender doubled down to make it official. During a weeklong celebration of local sports in St. Louis, Hutton took part in a fun event at the Cardinals’ batting cage – dressed in full NHL gear.
Sporting retro-style Blues equipment, Hutton stepped up to face the pitching machine and tried his hand at catching – or at least blocking – some baseballs.
So we found a great use for the batting cages. pic.twitter.com/Wxeg7qEVF6

Though we think Carter should stick to hockey, he sure gave it his all and managed to add some panache to a few catches with his glove.
