VIDEO: Indians' Greg Allen Robs Jose Iglesias of Extra-Bases With Surreal Snag in Center Field
By Karl Rasmussen
Trevor Bauer was at risk of letting up an extra-base hit early on in the second inning, as he served up a meatball to Jose Iglesias on a 2-0 count. Well, fortunately for Bauer, his defense was on its toes, particularly Greg Allen, who was just called up to the big leagues on Saturday. Allen played this line drive perfectly, racing backwards towards the warning track before sprawling out and somehow making this unbelievable web-gem.
Are. You. Kidding. Me?!
Allen had no business making that grab, as it looked to be a sure-fire double for the Reds' shortstop. The recently-promoted outfielder was looking for a reason for the Tribe to keep him on the roster post-All-Star break, and he may just have showcased his value with this snag.
Not even the sleeveless jerseys worn by the Reds could muscle that ball out of Allen's reach!
