VIDEO: Manny Machado Casually Throws Out Rockies' Ryan McMahon Across the Diamond From His Knee
By Karl Rasmussen
Manny Machado can do just about everything on the baseball field. While he's made a name for himself with his bat, his defensive prowess cannot be overlooked. The Padres star reminded everyone of his gold glove-caliber fielding ability with a sensational play at the hot corner against the Rockies. Machado was able to fire a strike across the diamond to get Ryan McMahon out at first base-- on a throw from one knee!
Machado really made this look effortless, as he fires a strike from his right knee while falling forward into the dirt.
The commentators were anticipating extra bases for McMahon, but instead, Machado didn't even let him reach first base.
