Randy Arozarena Went Flying Into the Stands and Bounced Back Like It Was Nothing
Randy Arozarena plays the outfield with more panache than your average player. Statistically, he’s not a fantastic defender, but he’s got style. Remember when he robbed a home run in the World Baseball Classic and just stared blankly toward the infield? He’s so cool.
Well, he did it again on Tuesday night in San Francisco. In the fifth inning, Michael Conforto sliced a ball down the line in left. Arozarena chased it down and dove into the stands to try to catch it (he didn’t). The protective netting broke his fall but it was still a serious tumble he took.
He needed a little help extricating himself from the netting, but once he was back on his feet, he acted like nothing had happened. He smoothly rolled over the wall and strutted away while flashing a thumb’s up.
He’s so awesome that he even makes missing a catch look cool.
