Yasiel Puig entertains. The Dodgers outfielder only has one gear on the field, and it's of the relentlessly high-energy variety.
Whether crushing home runs and rewarding hitting coach Turner Ward with a warm embrace in the dugout or robbing home runs with spectacular catches (or shooting live videos of his public transportation adventures), Puig is a delight to watch.
Unless you're on the other team ... as the Padres' Hunter Renfroefound out in the third inning of San Diego's 4-3 win on Friday night in Los Angeles:

The thing is, that was a big deal. That throw was just unfair. But as ridiculous as it was, it's not even Puig's hardest-thrown outfield assist of the season.
Watch out, runners. He's out there, and he'll throw you out.
