Texas Rangers catcher Yorvit Torrealba struck a home plate umpire in the face after striking out in a Venezuelan League game on Friday.

After swinging at strike three, Torrealba immediately began a heated argument with Dario Rivera Jr. over a previous strike call during the at-bat.

Roughly 15 seconds into the exchange, Torrealba struck the umpire in the mask.

It’s unclear what type of punishment Torrealba, a member of the Leones del Caracas squad, will face from the Venezuelan League.

Torrealba hit .273 with with seven home runs and 37 RBIs for the Rangers last season.
