Without putting too much into it, when Gunnar had the ball and ready to throw it, Profar was between 6-7.5 steps away from first (I suppose ready to throw is debatable). Earlier in the game on the sliding play over the middle, Gunnar threw out Peralta with 6 steps left, and he threw out Arraez on a double play with 5 steps left. Would he have gotten him? Not sure. To say he had “no chance” is wrong.
I counted steps on the Gamecast 3D. Very useful for something like this, but I can’t figure out how to post the screen shot that shows Profar’s distance. Feel free to run it yourself and let me know if you disagree.
