#ASGWorthy: Pederson thrills with bat and glove

Who said you need longevity to stand out amongst your peers? Joc Pederson has only played in 39 games at the big league level, but he's earning raves for his play on both offense and defense. On Wednesday night, Pederson took his well-rounded feats to a new #ASGWorthy level.

Pederson, the Dodgers' fleet-footed center fielder, homered on the second pitch of the game Wednesday night and later came back to deliver a highlight-reel catch. Pederson tracked back toward the wall, made a course correction and then a sprawling backhand catch in the Dodgers' 7-3 win over the Giants.
