This unbelievable deke slide had the catcher on skates, and might make you dizzy, too

Slides are something of an art form in baseball, and the very best ones can be mesmerizing to watch on repeat. There are swim slides and vaulting slides and smooth-as-butter slides and Javy Báez slides (which deserve a category all to their own).

But even with all of those options, you'd be hard-pressed to find anything like what happened in Tuesday's KBO game between the Hanwha Eagles and the NC Dinos.

It started rather routinely, with runners on first and third and one out on a chopped ground ball to the hot corner. The Dinos third baseman fielded it and tossed to second, and as he did Hanwha's Yonathan Perlaza took off for home. The Dinos second baseman, realizing he would not have time to turn two, alertly opted to throw to the plate to try to catch the late-breaking Perlaza.

That's when chaos ensued.

The throw took Dinos backstop Hyung-jun Kim slightly up the first-base line, and he had to come back to the other side of the plate to try to put a tag on the runner. Perlaza narrowly evaded that initial attempt but missed the plate. Now it was mano y mano, one man trying desperately to touch home, the other doing everything in his power to stop him.

Perlaza at first juked left and Kim dove. No tag, no touch of the plate. But that's when Perlaza saw his window. With the Dinos backstop in a vulnerable position low to the ground, Perlaza reached over him, faking like he was going with his right hand before extending his left hand past the prostrate catcher and finally touching home.

It was a run scored with the highest degree of difficulty imaginable, though unfortunately for Perlaza -- a former Cubs Minor Leaguer -- and the Eagles, the game was rained out and you won't see this one in the box score. But it'll live on in replays, and it might never be replicated.
