Though he never quite got his due in Chicago, Chris Coghlan was actually a pretty darn good player for the Cubs during his time in Chicago. In fact, I argued that he may have been the best fourth outfielder in baseball at one point. Whether you agree with that or not, there’s no denying the fact that he provided a pretty awesome highlight last season with an emergency hack that turned into a hit.
But that play had nothing, and I mean nothing, on Coghlan’s latest gem. Now playing in Toronto, Coghlan was racing home to score on a Kevin Pillar triple when he found himself caught dead-to-rights by Stephen Piscotty’s throw.
