In case you missed it, Oakland’s Yoenis Cespedes made an incredible throw from left field to home plate on Tuesday night to nail the Angels’ Howie Kendrick. What’s most impressive is seeing Cespedes recover from misfielding a line drive, and throw a rocket back to catcher Derek Norris, without any bounces in between. Los Angeles would ultimately have the last laugh that night, winning 2-1 in 14 innings.
Last night, Cespedes made another unbelievable throw, robbing Albert Pujols of a triple. The Athletics would win this contest 7-1. Check out the throw here, from MLB’s YouTube channel:
You’ll notice Cespedes misfielded the ball last night as well, and it makes you wonder if he will make a habit of baiting a batter or runner throughout the rest of the season. Oakland has tonight off, but will we see more highlights this weekend against the Yankees?
