It’s been a few great days for swim moves on the base paths in baseball.
On Saturday, the Rays’ Randy Arozarena avoided the tag in a rundown with a pretty fantastic move to slide safely into second base. But I think the Red Sox’s Rafael Devers just one upped him on Monday.
During the sixth inning of Boston’s game against the Minnesota Twins at Fenway Park, Devers tried to advance to third off a double from Xander Bogaerts. And while the throw into Twins third baseman Gio Urshela was a bit up the line, Devers couldn’t stop his momentum and slid off third base entirely.
