Unfortunately, that was their kryptonite in the series loss to the Marlins.
Let’s wrap this up in a lighter tone. One of the biggest standouts from this game was Gabriel Arias’ defense at third base - he was incredible at the hot corner! Arias made six infield throws on Friday night with two of those being 90+ mph. His hardest-thrown ball was 96.6 mph which resulted in an out at first.
There are still concerns at the plate that are holding Arias back from being an everyday player. But this performance on defense is a reminder of just how naturally gifted he is on defense.
