VIDEO: Mookie Betts Somehow Throws Out Avisail Garcia at 3rd With Absolute Heave From Right Field
By Ryan Giglio
There's just not much that Mookie Betts can't do. The reigning MVP's offensive prowess is well known by now, but Betts displayed his cannon during Monday's game between the Red Sox and Rays.

Seriously, how on earth did he make that throw?
From deep in right field at Tropicana Field, Betts heaved an absolute rocket on the fly to third base to throw out Avisail Garcia attempting to stretch a double to a triple.
A typical right fielder would have surrendered the three-bagger, but Betts was not about to let that happen.
Mookie's throw was 305 feet -- and in the air for the entire throw. That's insanity.

Betts' throw was airborne for 305 feet, cruising right into Devers' mitt. It was truly one of the most ridiculous throws of the season, as most right fielders would be lucky to have made that play on a ball that takes multiple bounces.
