This play not only saved a potential run from scoring but also showcased Guerrero Jr.’s range, quick reflexes, and strong arm. His ability to make such a difficult play under pressure demonstrates his dedication to improving his defensive skills and his commitment to helping his team win games.

Guerrero Jr. has been working tirelessly on his defense since transitioning to third base from first base earlier in his career. His hard work and determination are paying off, as he continues to impress fans, teammates, and coaches with his improved play at the hot corner.
