? FieldVision: Arozarena's swipe of home

¡°I noticed that the pitcher [Josh Taylor] wasn't really watching for me or covering for me, and I saw the third baseman was pretty far away in respect to where I was at,¡± Arozarena said after the Rays took Game 1 of the ALDS against the Red Sox, 5-0, on Thursday night. ¡°I was looking over to [Rays third-base coach Rodney] Linares, telling him, 'Hey, I'm going to go, I'm going to go' ¡­ that's when I decided to take off.¡±

Watch from angles such as down the third-base line or behind the plate as the electrifying rookie sizes up his opportunity, considers his chances and breaks for home to give the Rays a five-run lead. Or use the ¡°Player Lock¡± function to take a bird¡¯s-eye view and hone in on Arozarena as he makes his mad dash down the line and slides into home plate.

¡°The steal of home, that was one of the cooler things I've seen on a baseball field,¡± Rays manager and eight-year veteran Kevin Cash said after the game.

By accomplishing his incredible feat, Arozarena became the first player in MLB postseason history to hit a home run and steal home in the same game. He has become a postseason legend, while also being in consideration for the 2021 AL Rookie of the Year Award, as his 11 playoff home runs would already make him the all-time leader for 21 franchises other than the Rays.
