Yes, I’m talking about the same Yoenis Cespedes who refused to pick up a ball and gave up an inside the park home run during Spring Training. Fast forward almost three weeks later, and here he is literally flying into the stands after a foul ball.
Marlins’ Ichiro Suzuki hit a clearly foul ball that Cespedes felt the need to hustle for. I’m not exaggerating when I say that he full on dived into the stands for it, taking out a couple of fans on the way. Cespedes did not end up catching the ball. Needless to say, Mets trainers and coaches flocked to him after this unnecessary play to ensure that he was okay.
