Minnesota Twins star Joe Ryan‘s crotch must’ve been on fire during Monday’s game … ’cause the pitcher couldn’t help but douse his balls in baby powder right in the middle of the dugout — and it was all caught on camera!!
The hilarious blooper went down during the top of the 7th inning of the Twins’ road matchup against the Chicago White Sox … when the broadcast followed Carlos Correa back to the bench after hitting a home run.
The intention was to capture CC celebrating with his teammates … but as an added bonus of sorts, the shot went on just a bit too long — and showed Ryan casually tugging on his waistband and unloading a bunch of powder on his privates as he had a quick chat with the shortstop.

Ya can’t really blame the guy — after all, it was a pretty hot and humid day in the Windy City … so we can only imagine what kinda mess was going down below the belt for Ryan, even though he wasn’t playing in Monday’s contest.
Ryan hasn’t addressed the viral moment … but we take it his preventative measures will help him go balls out when he takes the mound again on Friday.
