The Kansas City Royals were among baseball’s better defensive teams during the regular season and have kept it up thus far during the playoffs. During game 3 of the ALCS, third baseman Mike Moustakas made a few nice plays, none better than this one.
Adam Jones hit a ball into foul territory that looked destined to land amongst the crowd down the third base line. Moustakas had other ideas. Reaching over the railing, he extended to make an incredible catch before tumbling over into the crowd.
I mean, wow.
The Royals have seen their share of web gems by teammates over the course of this season, but this one deserved a second look.
Mike Moustakas just made @sportscenter's play of the day. His teammates held up play to watch the replays of that catch.
