The Atlanta Braves star Acuña made essentially the most staggering outfield throw of the yr in opposition to the New York Yankees at Truist Discipline in Atlanta, Ga. Acuña was manning proper area within the third inning with Yankees runners on first and second and one away.
Yankees first baseman Cody Bellinger golfed one in direction of the precise area nook, and Acuña was efficiently capable of observe it down for the out. Infielder Jorbit Vivas, the lead runner for the Yankees, tried to advance on the deep fly ball and may have made it into third base simply.
Nonetheless, Acuña had another plans. Doing his finest Jose Guillen impression, Acuña did a half-turn and fired an absolute dart into the bag at third. The ball someway hit teammate Nacho Alvarez Jr. on the fly, and Vivas (maybe anticipating to waltz into third like a Sunday stroll) someway failed to slip and was tagged out.
Right here is the unbelievable play.
