'Laser' Ramon Laureano showed off his rocket arm and threw out another Red Sox baserunner

You have to admire the Red Sox chutzpah. After all, in their early-season series against the Athletics, they had twice tried to run on center fielder Ramón Laureano's arm. Each time, they came away having to pick up their things, dust off their shirts and take the long, slow walk back to the dugout because Laureano has an arm of the gods.

It's strong, it's accurate and it has the power to hurl baseballs roughly a country mile. It's the Aaron Judge of throwing arms; the Noah Syndergaard fastball of the outfield.

On Thursday afternoon, the Red Sox tried again. When Andrew Benintendi dropped in a bloop single to center field, Mookie Betts motored around second base and tried for third. Surely Laureano couldn't come racing in and, like a middle infielder, make an off-balance throw right on the third-base bag ... right?

Wrong:

While Laureano has a shocking 12 outfield assists in just 57 big league games, don't be surprised if that number dries up soon. Teams will simply realize running against Ramón is a great way to get thrown out. And isn't that an even more powerful thing -- scaring teams into simply giving up?
