Left-handed pitchers are known for their pickoff moves to first base. Unfortunately for Brandon Finnegan, he now has a reputation for his move to second.

The Cincinnati Reds southpaw hit the deck Tuesday after spinning off the mound during a pickoff attempt against the Atlanta Braves. The blooper gave Finnegan a chuckle, and he even retweeted MLB's GIF after the game.

Finnegan had reason to laugh Tuesday after tossing six innings of one-run ball with five strikeouts to earn the victory in the Reds' 3-1 win.
