VIDEO: Gio Urshela Pulls Off Incredibly Athletic Slide to Score on Wild Pitch

The New York Yankees took back the lead against the Toronto Blue Jays when Marcus Stroman threw a wild pitch, Gio Urshela made a mad dash to home, and the Yankees infielder evaded the tag of Blue Jays catcher Danny Jansen to give the team a 3-2 lead. It may sound fairly benign, but Urshela pulled off one of the most athletic plays you'll ever see in a situation like this, contorting like Gumby to elude Jansen and score.

We've seen all kinds of trick slides, we've seen players lower their shoulder like a middle linebacker and run over a catcher -- looking at you, Jake Marisnick -- and Chris Coghlan soaring over Yadier Molina to avoid a tag, but we've never seen someone come to almost a full stop, bend out of the way, and then speed up again.

In his breakout season, Gio is seemingly incapable of messing up.

Oh, and he made a 5-star defensive play earlier in the game at third base.

Troy Tulowitzki's injury appears to have been a blessing in disguise for the Yankees, who have become the beneficiary of one of the most improbably great seasons in 2019.
