Jose Canseco was one of the greatest — not to mention most controversial — home-run hitters in Major League Baseball history.

As one half of the former Bash Brothers — with Mark McGwire in the late 1980s and early '90s — the retired Canseco hasn't played baseball in well over a decade. 

However, he currently has a good reason to bring his bat out of retirement for some immediate use — to defend his daughter, Josie, from the raging levels of thirst out there.

Fellas are sure to be knocking down her door and trying to holla at the 19-year-old, who was just named Playboy's Miss June 2016, posing pantless in a red-hot pictorial. 

If her dad was a Bash Brother, we'll call her the Bash Bae. Barely-legal Bash Bae, that is.

Both Playboy and Josie herself took to their Twitter and Instagram accounts, respectively, to talk about her spread.

So, what does Canseco think of his daughter's newfound notoriety?

Well, a source told TMZ that he was reportedly blindsided by Josie's Playboy shoot. Sort of like several of your MLB peers were when you outed them in your infamous 2005 whistle-blowing book Juiced, huh, Jose?

Yeah, Jose, if the sampling of thirst out there for your daughter is any indication, you're going to have to bring that Louisville Slugger out of retirement to do some damage in these streets. 

Knock 'em out the park, Canseco!

At 19, is Josie Canseco too young to pose for Playboy?
