Rafael Devers has been slumping at the plate, but you can’t say that about his glove.
The Boston Red Sox rookie phenom has been flashing the leather during the team’s three-game series against the Toronto Blue Jays, and he made another ridiculous play Wednesday.
The game was tied at one in the sixth inning when Kendrys Morales hit a rocket ticketed for right field. But Devers, who was playing on the second base side of the bag due to a shift, snagged the rocket before throwing out Morales from his knees.
Take a look.

Wow.
Devers continues to impress all over the diamond.
The Sox went on to win 7-1.
