A play you won't be able to stop watching

MIAMI -- The saying typically goes, "See the ball, hit the ball."

In the case of Marlins first baseman Jesús Aguilar, why not catch it? Aguilar displayed impressive hand-eye coordination during a pivotal play to end the top of the 10th in the Marlins' 7-6 extra-inning win over the Giants on Saturday night at loanDepot park.

With two outs and runners on second and third with San Francisco up by a run, Mauricio Dubón hit a ground ball to shortstop. Jazz Chisholm Jr. ranged to his left, and as his momentum took him behind the other side of second base, he made a cross-body throw on the run. When the ball bounced, Aguilar went to pick it. The ball deflected off his glove, but the veteran showed quick reflexes by catching it with his bare hand a split second before Dubón's right foot touched the bag. A replay review upheld the call.

According to Statcast, Dubón went from home to first in 4.63 seconds with a sprint speed of 28.5 ft/sec. An elite sprint speed is 30 ft/sec. Chisholm Jr., who moved from second base to shortstop after Magneuris Sierra pinch-ran for Miguel Rojas in the ninth, needed 135 feet on the play. His exchange was 0.93 seconds before getting off a 70.1 mph throw.

The play ended the top of the 10th inning and kept the Marlins’ deficit at one. That proved crucial as Jorge Alfaro provided the two-out, two-run walk-off double in the bottom of the frame.

"Just a scoop, right?" Marlins manager Don Mattingly said. "Sometimes that ball gets away from you. You see him grab it, ends up being huge, obviously. When I first saw it I was thinking safe, but our replay guy said he was out, so I felt good about it after that. It's one of those you're like, 'Not another run.' You still look at it like we’ve got a guy on second and nobody out, so being down one in this extra-inning format is not like the worst thing that can happen to you. Two puts you into a little different box."
