For the second time, Edinson Volquez benefited from a great Jarrod Dyson-Christian Yelich catch

Last August, then-Royals center fielder Jarrod Dyson robbed a would-be homer from Marlins center fielder Christian Yelich with an absolutely unbelievable catch at the wall.
You may remember it

In case you were wondering how that play looked in still image form: 

In Wednesday's Marlins-Mariners game at Safeco Field won by Seattle, 10-5, Dyson -- now a member of Seattle's outfield -- hit a deep fly ball to center ... where Yelich got him back for last season's robbery with some downright thievery of his own: 

Thanks to some alert photography and strong zoom, here's a close-up of Yelich imprinting himself in the center-field fence post-catch: 

After the game, Yelich commented on his technique with a tweet: 

There's a special twist to this situation that makes this a rather amusing set of circumstances: Edinson Vólquez was the pitcher on the mound for both of these plays. That's right, Volquez was with Kansas City last season and threw the pitch that resulted in Dyson's play ... just as he was for the Marlins and Yelich's grab on Wednesday.
Cap-tip to both fielders for some ridiculous defense, but also kudos to Volquez for the good fortune -- and for obviously inspiring his teammates to reach new heights in terms of jaw-dropping glovework.
