The only thing Baltimore Orioles catcher Caleb Joseph did wrong was hit the ball a bit too hard, to the wrong guy. The play unfolded in the bottom of the 11th inning on Tuesday night after O’s shortstop J.J. Hardy hit a two-out double. Joseph followed with a sharply hit ball to Harper in right field when the Nats star did this:
That’s basically a perfect throw by Harper, who beat Hardy by about 10 feet on what would have been the game-winning run. The O’s went on to win 5-4 in the next frame but still, heck of an assist.
