Mets pitcher Marcus Stroman had MLB fans in awe with his incredibly heads-up, diving tag at third
This has to be the play of the year. Wow.
Mets pitcher Marcus Stroman has only won one Gold Glove so far in his seven years in Major League Baseball but I think after what he did in Saturday win over the Nationals they might as well send him his second Gold Glove right now because this play below was incredible.
We’ve grown used to seeing Stroman doing cool things but this play was even better than the jumping-throw to first that he had a few weeks ago.
A bobbled ball at second led Nationals star Juan Soto to take off for third because the shift was on and nobody was near third base.
But then Stroman took off to third and made what could be the play of the year:
Marcus Stroman. Gold Glove.

I mean, that was just insane. And what a throw by Javy Baez.
