With Major League Baseball players largely leaving spring facilities for home, it appears they're starting to get bored and subsequently creative.
Chicago Cubs catcher Willson Contreras and his brother William, a backstop in the Atlanta Braves system, aren't allowing the coronavirus outbreak to prevent them from staying in game shape.
Equipped with a ball launcher, William has been serving up batting practice for Willson.
This allows the two to demonstrate social distancing while also getting their baseball reps in.
No official return date is known, so the Contreras brothers may be doing this for a while.
