Top MLB Plays of 7/9! (CJ Abrams’ DIVING catch, Luis Robert Jr. SLIDES, and MORE!)
Back through the middle. Oh, what a stop by Taylor Walls for the out. Wow. Wow. Gold glove caliber, platinum glove caliber shortstop. Playing second base here in this ball game. This ball sharply hit up the middle and Taylor makes it look easy. The two- two pitch. Turner grounds one and a diving stab. Wilmer Flores has it. gets up and flips to Verlander covering for the out and he was able to spear it. That was a really nice play by Wilmer Flores and then a good job by Verlander who got over to cover. Fly ball right field. Long run for everybody and a nice basket catch by the captain. A really solid play. That’s not an easy play when you’re going towards a line. You’ve got three guys converging on the ball, but Aaron Judge obviously has the better shot coming in on it. [Applause] Little slow roller out to Salvi and he bare hands and dives for the bag. Put that on the captain’s highlight reel. Nicely done, Willie Castro. Go get it. Dragging it down, man. Look at that. Move from second base this inning out to left field. You can put him anywhere and he’s going to make great plays for you. Saw a diving play right last night. He’s running it down knowing his home ballpark. What a play. Ball player. The one swung on a little floater shallow left field. Guriel with the sliding catch makes the play. And for Brandon Font, it’s his third consecutive one, two, three inning. Bottom of the second. That’s up the middle. Abrams to his left, spears it. And a nice landing as well. Only way you make this play. Yeah, it’s not hit hard. Doesn’t matter the spin on it. You have to have a great first step. Great read off the bat as CJ did. And he hits a fly ball out into shallow center field. Robert coming in and a sliding catch. Luis Robert Jr. just robbed Loper Fido of a base hit. I can’t believe he was able to get his glove under that one. He literally went sliding and his glove was on the ground making that grab quick. Two- two pitch and he pokes it in the air. Back of second into shallow center coming in and making a sliding catch is Jackson Cheerio. Oh, what a job by Jackson. First ball swinging Tommy Edmund. That is going to be caught by Collins. Isaac Collins runs it down. Kintana gives him a golf clap. Well done. Swings here and lines one to right. Coming out is Call. A diving catch by Alex Cole toward the line and left. Alex Call does it again with a highlight reel play on a ball hooking toward the line. He went to full speed about three long strides and left his feet with a headlong dive toward the foul line.
