He is top 5 running them down and throwing....but he is the worst sliding/diving catch maker I've ever seen in the big leagues. He looks like guys hesitating to kill themselves on that old AstroTurf......not good ol sliding grass.
I was at the Votto 3 HR game versus the Nats and in the first 6 innings Bryce Harper made a feet first sliding catch and a head first diving catch. I've not seen Stubbs do both in his 400 game career. How is that possible? Seriously?
