He comes out of the box hauling ass and rounds first full speed going for a double, and you could almost see the left fielders jaw drop as he said to himself "what the hell is this kid doing??". He is caught totally off guard throws it high to second and Harper legs out a double that he had no business getting, moving into scoring position.

Not to be "that" guy, but the play you describe here is retarded and a rookie mistake. They were down two and by getting a hit the tying run will be up to the plate. How stupid does he look when he gets thrown out at 2nd to make the final out instead? Sometimes kamikaze isn't a good thing. Being at first or second make almost no difference down two.

The kid looks like a beast though. His arm is insane.
