Stephen Strasburg has been magnificent through the first four innings, throwing a perfect game against the Los Angeles Dodgers in Game 2 of the NLDS. He also got a great defensive play behind him by Juan Soto, robbing Clayton Kershaw of a would-be hit.
Kershaw looped one to left field, but a charging Soto stretched out to make the catch. MLB Stats says Soto had a 10% catch probability.
The NL Wild Card hero, showed his glove can be as mighty as his bat. But, judging off his comments following Game 1 about Walker Buehler, Kershaw and the Dodgers may feel Soto’s catch was “nothing special.”
