When White Sox shortstop Alexei Ramirez turned to make the tag, Puig was right there. But then, Puig simply pulled in his arm, scooted around Ramirez and touched the bag, swiping his first stolen base this spring.

Later in the game, Puig made an across-the-field throw to third to nab Conor Gillaspie trying to go from first to third.

Puig gonna Puig.
