It's only somewhat relevant to this post, but that game saving catch in Seattle, and the subsequent game winning home run is quite possibly the most impressive thing I ever saw within one inning of each other.Cedric Mullins did that. I watched Willie Mays for most of my life...I simply dont think he ever did that...certainly not in extra innings and so close those moments were together. -

Gunnar murdered a ball off the bat at 110 that ended up being a really routine groundout because it hit the mound and slowed down. The xBA was still .590 on that play. -
His homer today was really a glorified pop fly, but hit in the perfect location, right down the line 345 feet. Per Statcast, that ball had an xBA of .040 based on EV and launch angle, and yet it would have been a homer in 24 of 30 ballparks.

This was pretty cool too. 28.3 feet per second and covered 70 feet. The play took 4.2 seconds which is fitting on Jackie Robinson day.

Something about Cedric with the bat-- he isn't the biggest exit velocity or line drive guy. But, he pulls the ball more than average and hits the ball in the air more than average. That combo of qualities can make him look really weak when he's not squaring it up (lots of lazy pop flies). But when he's on, it also gives him his HR power and a lot of his value as a hitter. -
Damn, he might win Electric Play of the Week again this season, he won it for the catch he made in Pittsburgh in the 11th inning on the 6th.
