Lorenzo Cain made this amazing home run-robbing catch look routine

By Matt Monagan

Lorenzo Cain is no stranger to fantastic catches. Here's one. Here's another. Here are some more. 
Fact is, these flashes of magnificence have become routine for the Royals center fielder, and during Tuesday's game against the Orioles, he was at it again -- robbing a Pedro Alvarez home run with the ease of someone walking outside to pick up their mail:

Statcast™ estimated his route efficiency at 98.07 percent and his top speed at 18.3 mph. He also hung there for a second, a la Vince Carter, with his entire arm over the other side of the wall. 

Sorry, O's fans. Sorry, Pedro Alvarez. You may have wanted a home run, but Lorenzo Cain did not.
