Slow pitcher gets thrown out at first from right


Stealing home? Greatest play. Throwing out a batter running to first from right field? Vastly underrated play.

See if you agree - this play from Wednesday's Marlins-Braves tilt involves Atlanta pitcher Julio Teheran, who laces a would-be hit to right, where Marcell Ozuna picks up the one-hopper and fires it to first for the out:

Yes, Teheran is a pitcher (which means Ozuna was playing closer than he normally would) and he didn't appear to be running that hard, but it's still a play worth highlighting. Remember when Jose Bautista got Billy Butler a couple of years ago?

Super-exciting!
