There’s nothing I enjoy more than a good defensive play. Yes, I obviously love when one of the Yankees’ big boppers belts a blast over the bullpen, and Gerrit Cole blowing fastballs past the game’s best hitters never gets old. As much fun as it is to watch home runs and strikeouts on repeat, however, defense — both good and bad — has always captured my attention as a writer. While to me, a home run or a great pitch look fairly similar on repeated viewings, every time I watch re-watch a defensive highlight, I pick up something new about the play.
