2024 Atlanta Braves - Best Defensive Plays

Hits it deep to right center. Harris is back. He reaches Harris to keep it two to nothing. You see the angle he's going about it. It looks like he's got it tracked and he gets right to that position and launches himself. Fair. Oh, what? How did he do that? Little Houdini trick for Matt Olsen over there at first base. Did he catch that behind his back? I think he did. Is he over? He stops it. Completes the play. Ozzie Olbis, his own personal firework show here on the fourth. For Rocco Baldelli, they got their eyes set on bigger things. Harris sprints back, reaches up. He's got it. Michael Harris did not get the start tonight. That does not mean that he has an impact in this game in a big way. What a catch. Left side, Riley got his glove to it, and then it goes to Orsia, and you can score it 5-6-3. Off the end of the bat, out to shadow right center. Kelvick coming on. How about that? Ground ball. Fair. Riley stops it. Unbowed base by Austin Riley. Matt Olsen going over there. There is enough room. Can he get there? What a play! And then he spins around, fires it home, and keeps a runner at third. You cannot do it any better than that. Runner goes for second. Darno throws down there. Travis Darno, that's a dad strength in that right arm on Father's Day to take care of a Rosarita. Gotta get you something. Ozzie, or rather Orlando to Ozzie. They got it. Oh my, how did they do that? He goes. Murphy fires down there. They got him! Long run over. Does Matt Olsen have enough room? What a play! Into the rail. He's got the baseball. Two outs. This ball is hit deep to left center field. Will the ball park hold it? Has it! Well, we've seen his cannon. Now we've seen his leaping ability. He robs Garrett Cooper and keeps it five to nothing. Watch Jarrett Kelnick go up, and he's turned there to the side for a second. You're not sure if he has it, and there's the reaction that says, yeah, absolutely I have it. Buries it in the ground. Austin charges. Bare hands. Oh no! How good was that? Morton deals. Swing and a miss. Throw down at second. Got him! Struck through him out, and the top of the first is in the books. Tolia hits it out to center. Harris sprints back. The bases are loaded for Alec Bowler. Most clutch hitter up at the plate. In on the hands. Olsen back, and he's got it. Wow, good play by Matt Olsen. At 19 and only two trips in. To the left center. Kelnick. Diving attempt, and he got it. Wow. Two RBIs with his back. Ground ball. Arcia coming home. Troup applies the tag. Oh, what a play by Matt Olsen. Six foot five, he climbed the ladder and turns it into a double play. Urias hits that off of Schwellenbach. Ozzie Albies jumps to throw it across, and he makes the play. That's how you do it right there. Just lay back. You need to watch the game though, son. Little flare. Riley back. He's got it. Oh, wow. What a great play from Austin Riley right there. On his one-two from Lopez. Bounces one left side. Long run for Arcia. Goes to second in time. Hill lifts it deep left center. Loriato and Harris back. Michael Harris reaches up and does it again. To his feet, and saves two runs from scoring. Left field. Kelnick has to go over toward the line and makes a great diving catch. And now he hits this weak lead Austin Riley. Bare hands. Got it. To be honest with you, if you can play pepper with the outfielders, got them. One-two from Chris Sale. Reaching for this. It's in the same spot down the left field line that Bell's ball went, but this time Kelnick gets to it. To the Braves organization. Austin Riley. This time he's got a long way to go. He gets there. What a play. Sliding on the dirt in front of the dugout. First pitch is hit out to center field. Harris coming on. He's got it. That's playing like a champion. Oh, he makes every play out there. Hit to Matt Olsen. Double play. Left center. Is this one going to get down? Kelnick. Kelnick got it. Full extension grab. Really surprising for Ben Carroll. That ball fair. Austin Riley. Well, you can't do it much better than that. And a nice pick by Olsen over at first. Could be Freed's final pitch here today. Three-two is hit to center field. Harris is going back. He reaches up and makes a catch as he crashes into the wall. What a play by money Mike Harris. And as it says on his glove, sorry not sorry. Mike just goes and gets that ball. Santander puts this in play out to left. Now, Kelnick's going to have to charge late, but he got there. Six of his eight starts, two or less walks for Charlie this year. Out to center field. Michael Harris has to sprint back. Reaches up and makes a catch. And failed to reach a hundred RBI. Here he's bouncing this softly to third. And this one definitely not a homer. It's to shadow center. Harris hustling. He's got it. A diving sensational grab. That ball is fair. Riley. Oh, it's tremendous.
