When talking about a batter, what does shutout mean?

Question

At about 7′30″ into the video linked below, the announcer says "That's shotout to center field."
As far as I know, shutout refers to the act by which a single pitcher pitches a complete game and does not allow the opposing team to score a run strikes, which is obvious not what the announcer means.
So what does shutout there mean?
The link starts at 7′22″.

The word is "Shot out", not "Shut out".  "Shot out" in this context refers to the meaning of "Shot" similar to "shot from a gun" - i.e., a hard blast as opposed to a soft "bloop" hit.
