Anthony Rizzo’s beautiful long bunt against the shift had MLB fans rightfully in awe

There’s something really enjoyable about watching a professional baseball player laying down a perfect bunt and getting to first base before anyone can throw him out.

Usually, though, that bunt is one that doesn’t travel far but finds the right sweet spot where nobody can get you out.

That wasn’t the case last night in New York when Yankees first baseman Anthony Rizzo laid down one of the longest bunts (maybe it was the longest in history, who knows!?) against the Blue Jays.

Oh, and this looks like this is the perfect way to beat the shift. Every hitter should work on perfecting this because they’d get on base every time.

Watch this thing of beauty:

So good, right?
