Rangers center fielder Leody Taveras robbed Astros’ Yordan Alvarez of a home run during Wednesday’s ALCS Game 3, showcasing his stunning range in the outfield to bring back a ball that looked destined for the seats.
Alvarez absolutely crushed the baseball, hitting it 111.1 mph off the bat as it traveled 416 feet with a 25-degree launch angle. Somehow, Taveras was still able to commit one of the most electric postseason home run robberies in recent memory.
This hit would have been a home run in 22 of 30 major league ballparks, but Taveras found a way to snag it from over the fence.
