Yankees’ Isiah Kiner-Falefa Brilliantly Stole Home After Catching Mets off Guard

Yankees outfielder Isiah Kiner-Falefa was making plays with his legs on Wednesday during the Subway Series against the Mets. 

On third base in a 2–1 game during the seventh inning, the speedster stunningly took off for home plate, completely catching the Mets off guard as he successfully thieved a run for his team.

Left-handed reliever Brooks Raley wasn’t prepared for Kiner-Falefa’s fleet-footed attempt to steal home plate, enabling the 28-year-old to successfully pull off the rare feat. Raley’s throw home nearly hit both Billy McKinney and the home plate umpire as Kiner-Falefa slid into home for the nearly uncontested run.
