Minor league pitcher Konnor Thomas Ash is suspected of driving while intoxicated after police say they spotted him traveling at a high rate of speed before crashing. Ash, 23, posted a $500 bond early Sunday, according to records in Pinellas County, Florida.

Authorities claim that Ash, who plays for the Philadelphia Phillies’ local Single-A affiliate the Clearwater Threshers, was driving fast westbound on the Belleair Causeway at 8:50 p.m. on Saturday. Deputies claim they lost sight of him but heard him crash shortly after.

“Deputies immediately responded and located the vehicle, which struck a Florida Department of Transportation (FDOT) speed limit sign and a wall near the intersection of Indian Rocks Road and West Bay Drive in Belleair Bluffs, causing an estimated $20,000 in damages,” the sheriff’s office wrote. “According to deputies, Ash was located sitting just outside the open driver’s side door with minor injuries and was transported to a local hospital. Deputies say Ash admitted to driving the vehicle, losing control, and crashing it.”
