Cutch lays it out in #ASGWorthy diving grab

Not with McCutchen on call.

With two outs in the fourth inning of Thursday night's game, Ramirez ripped a liner into apparent no-man's land. Only it turned out to be McCutchen's land, as he flawlessly tracked the ball, dove headlong and snared it inches above the grass.

Statcast™ tracked McCutchen reaching a top speed of 19.38 mph on a route he ran at 99.16 percent efficiency, enabling him to cover the 64.5 feet he needed to keep Ramirez off base and keeping right-hander Gerrit Cole in a 1-1 tie at the time.
