Trea Turner is one of the smoothest baserunners in all of professional baseball. He has mastered the perfect slides into bases and has become well known for those slides, which is pretty impressive.
The Los Angeles Dodgers infielder pulled off another beautiful slide yesterday against the Chicago Cubs at Wrigley Field when he was able to sneak into home plate and score a run LA’s 7-0 win in game 1 of their doubleheader.
Turner was almost out at the plate but his lengthy slide helped him, as did the ball getting away from Cubs catcher Willson Contreras.
But check out how smooth this slide was:
