Turning a double play with Andrew McCutchen speeding up the line is not easy on a routine ground ball let alone one with a tough hop. JT Riddle provided the solution with what we might term the ‘juggler’s feed’ to Dee Gordon at second base. A coach might need some unusual skills with the fungo bat to practice this at home.
During a very special no-hit bid for Edinson Volquez, Dee Gordon showed that the infield had his back. Only special players make this kind of diving play. #stopit
In addition to JT Riddle’s great play, Dee Gordon shows off how to use your hands to turn a quick double play. Notice where his hands are as he waits for the baseball. The ball travels faster in the air so Dee keeps them nice and close to his chest. He also has the throwing hand and glove next to each other for a smooth exchange. Quick hands. Quick turn.
With Martin Prado on the disabled list, Derek Dietrich has had a chance to cover third for the Marlins a lot this year. He has taken this time to show his ability with the glove. This backhand play is not nearly as easy as he makes it look. #stopit
Early in the 2017 season, Dee Gordon and the Miami Marlins are showing the magic of a Perry Hill infield. They turned this double play to get out of the top of the ninth. The Marlins walked off in the bottom of the inning.
