WATCH: Gwang-Min Song dodges bat, barehands ball in possible play of the year

Let's take leave of this place to appreciate some recent defensive brilliance in the Korean Baseball Organization. Check out this play by Doosan Bears third baseman Gwang-Min Song ...

And the people say: "Whoa and golly." Here it is at full speed ...

It's pretty amazing to barehand that ball after it takes a wayward bounce off the bat shard and completely changes direction just as it's about to reach the glove. However, it's something else entirely to make that snare and throw all while trying to ensure that said bat shard does not impale you.

Seriously, track the ball on the slow-mo replay at top, and you'll get an idea of what a brilliant, quick-twitch play this was.
