Yoenis Cespedes Defied Gravity Last Night With His Throw to Punch Out Howie Kendrick (GIF)

Yoenis Cespedes threw out Howie Kendrick with the most insane 300+ foot throw last night.

My god. Thank goodness Yoenis Cespedes committed a fielding error on Mike Trout's hit, because that little slip-up prompted Howie Kendrick to try his luck rounding third base. Wrong move, bro. Catcher Derek Norris barely even had to move. No effort necessary.

Cespedes' throw came from just in front of the left field foul poll at the Angel Stadium, which is 330 feet from home plate. The out was Cespedes' MLB-leading 8th outfield assist of the season, and is undoubtedly the longest assist he's had to make. Ultimately, the 8th inning throw to save a run didn't save the game, as the Angels won 2-1 in extra innings.
