Every night, baseball players pull off athletic feats that those of us at home could only dream of. Moonshot dingers, 95-mph fastballs, and long runs that end with diving catches are so far beyond an average person's physical capability that watching a ballgame often feels like science fiction.
But every now and then, a player shows that they are still human like the rest of us. Enter: Dodgers superutility man Enrique Hernández. The do-it-all player is usually as surehanded as they come, with a good enough arm that he's been called on to pitch before. Wednesday wasn't that night though.
When the Padres' Greg Garcia hit a double into right field, Hernández got the relay throw and aimed for home. Instead, he hit Max Muncy "right in the leather," as broadcaster Orel Hershiser said.
And Stephen Piscotty even got a sacrifice fly out of one when Brian Goodwin didn't get the ball back to the infield:
And while Manny Ramírez didn't make a throw, he upended the cutoff in the most spectacular way possible. Baseball players: They really are just like us.
