Let's take leave of this place to appreciate some recent defensive brilliance in the Korean Baseball Organization. Check out this play by Hanwha Eagles third baseman Gwang-Min Song ... 

And the people say: "Whoa and golly." Here it is at full speed ... 

It's pretty amazing to barehand that ball after it takes a wayward bounce off the bat shard and completely changes direction just as it's about to reach the glove. However, it's something else entirely to make that snare and throw all while trying to ensure that said bat shard does not impale you.

Seriously, track the ball on the slow-mo replay at top, and you'll get an idea of what a brilliant, quick-twitch play this was. Those are some next-level baseball instincts on display. 

It's still reasonably early out there, but, yes consider this a strong candidate for play of the year.
