Seager started a double play to end the Diamondbacks' hopes of a rally in the eighth inning of Game 3.
PHOENIX — Before the eighth-inning double play that stopped the in their tracks, widened his stance, bent his knees, lowered his center of gravity. As reliever delivered the pitch to , Seager took a hop. This is the artistry of fielding at work. Advertisement Defense and the repetitious diligence it requires is perhaps the most underappreciated part of baseball. Game-changing plays, though, are often a product of preparation and repetition as much as they are exceptional athleticism.
Seager, who stands 6-foot-4, has worked over the years to shorten his strides and stay centered over the ball. But also more than ever, it seems he has honed his pre-pitch preparation. “One thousand percent,” Jung said. “That’s a conscious thought. It’s really easy to go out there and just kinda relax. But to be that locked in is definitely a conscious, intentional effort.” The eighth-inning 6-4-3 served as one of the biggest plays of Monday’s 3-1 Rangers victory, giving Texas a 2-1 series lead.
