VIDEO: Phillies Pitcher Vince Velasquez Played RF and Gunned Out Runner at Home on Absolute Rope

After this mind-boggling highlight, managers around MLB might seriously consider deploying their pitchers in the outfield for dire, late-game scenarios. The Phillies were working with a shorthanded bullpen Friday night against the White Sox (due to Hector Neris' suspension and other injuries) and were forced to send outfielder Roman Quinn to the mound in the 14th inning and play right-hander Vince Velasquez in left field. With the go-ahead run on second base, Chicago's James McCann laced a single to left and Velasquez proceeded to throw a MISSILE to home to gun down Jose Abreu to keep the game tied.

The Phils would end up losing the extra-inning affair in 15 frames, but this night will absolutely be remembered for Velasquez's improbable heroics.
