Cards LF Tyler O'Neill somehow nailed Ryan Goins at home with a six-bounce throw
Although the Cardinals fell to the Royals, 5-2, in 10 innings on Wednesday, they were kept in contention by left fielder
Then, when the Royals put three runs on the board in the 10th, O'Neill also did his best to hold the score at 5-2.
O'Neill got the ball, geared up and fired in, but it hit the ground near third base and rolled slowly to home plate ...
... still nailing Goins at the plate. Can't argue with the results.
O'Neill's assist came in at 88.5 mph, which was certainly below the average throw home last year: 90.5 mph. Don't be fooled too much, though -- O'Neill might have the muscles to be the strongest man in baseball. A 2017 profile on him from MLB Pipeline said that he had "above-average arm strength" as well.
This one just happened to be a little light, but it got the job done regardless.
