For you, Cubs fans: 10 GIFs that demonstrate Jason Heyward's overwhelming talent

10 GIFs that show Jason Heyward's overwhelming talent

Jason Heyward has reportedly signed with the Cubs and a lot of people are quite excited, it seems. They should be -- the three-time Gold Glove Award-winning outfielder was one of the premier players available in a stacked free-agent market, and the Cubs saw a lot of him as their division rival's right fielder in 2015. Still, let's try to explain what kind of player the team is getting with Heyward.

He's -- hmmm.

Heyward's talent can often overwhelm the mind, flooding neurons with awesomeness and rendering synapses immobile with sensory overload at the mere sight of him playing baseball. As such, it's probably best to break down Heyward's skills in the simplest terms possible.

With assistance from a few of Heyward's 2015 highlights, we present the things Heyward can do at their most basic. 

1. He can catch:

5. Perhaps most importantly, he can do these things all in the same game:

... And that's all from this season.

While "He can catch" might be underselling it just a bit, there aren't really enough words to do it justice. So, Cubs fans, enjoy a season of that.
