Pittsburgh Pirates CF O'Neil Cruz made MLB Statcast history when he threw out a Mariners runner at home plate on Sunday, July 6. Watch the play here.
The Pittsburgh Pirates' star centerfielder proved that in a big way on Sunday. Needing to uncork maybe the most perfect outfield throw in baseball history to cut down a runner at home plate, that's what Cruz did. He unleashed a 105.2 mile per hour laser on one hop to his catcher for a tag out.
