WATCH: Jason Heyward shows off his cannon, fires perfect throw to plate |
CHICAGO — Chicago Cubs right fielder
Jason Heyward showed off his cannon of an arm with a perfect throw to the plate on Tuesday. Heyward gunned down speedy Cleveland Indians shortstop Francisco Lindor at the dish to end the top half of the third at Wrigley Field.
With the Indians leading 2-1 and Lindor tagging up at third base and looking to make it 3-1, Heyward caught a fly ball hit by Jose Ramirez and hurled a laser to catcher Victor Caratini, who applied the tag on Lindor in time. The Indians challenged the ruling, contending that Caratini was blocking the plate, but the out call stood, giving Heyward an impressive assist. If his glove is gold, what's J-Hey's arm made out of? pic.twitter.com/CxVVFaGY6G 92.3 MPH from Heyward to nab Lindor. pic.twitter.com/dGIdDI8ZiC Update: Hollywood actor and lifelong Cubs fan John Cusack weighed in on Twitter after Heyward's great throw: You don’t run of jay -hey @Cubs: Lindor tests J-Hey. pic.twitter.com/2ujnPmklGz”
