SHAQUILLE O'NEAL missed his shot at redemption against the TBS baseball crew.

The basketball legend was given a chance to put things right after he was scored on last week in a 3-on-3 game in the NBA on TNT studio.

But the NBA great put in a hilarious showing in batting practice against baseball hall of famer Pedro Martinez.

Shaq's baseball skills were put to the test Tuesday night.

And social media users were quick to joke he was as bad at batting as shooting free throws.

Another tweet also read, "Shaq bat swing is like chucks golf swing," in reference to TNT colleague Charles Barkley.

Martinez threw four pitches at the former Los Angeles Laker O'Neal.

The first one was a complete swing and a miss, while the second hit him on his side.

Shaq made contact with the third pitch but it looked like it went foul to the right of the diamond.

And then Martinez finished off the basketball great with another strike to complete the strikeout.

Shaq was clearly unhappy and threw the bat down in a jokey manner before leaving the stage.

Even some advice from co-host Lauren Shehadi on his stance couldn't help O'Neal.

Martinez joked the only way O'Neal would get on base would be if he leaned into the ball.

And the baseball great had the last laugh over the basketball legend Tuesday night.
