Ronald Acuna Jr.made one of the best throws you'll ever seeFriday nightduring theAtlanta Braves' game against theNew York Yankees. Fresh off representing theBravesin the All-Star Game played in Atlanta, the right fielder caught a fly ball hit byCody Bellingerjust on the grass in the right field corner. He then turned and fired the ball all the way to third base on the fly to nailJorbit Vivas, who was attempting to tag up. Acuna and the Braves were aided in part by some terrible baserunning by Vivas, who seemed to decelerate into the bag and failed to slide. Still, the Yankees third baseman wouldn't have been out had Acuna not made an unbelievable throw. The Yankees did not challenge, and the double play ended the top of the third inning.
