The announcers literally say it in the clip. Arraez was leaning on his foot.

I guess we’ll never know

"Because Arraez laid on his foot to keep it on the bag." The commentary in the video answers your exact question.

Some questions can never be answered.

But how?

Why male models?

Are you serious?…I just told you that.

Man that could have gone bad. It’s an amazing play with a lot of knee and leg risk.

By planting his left foot behind him?
11. u/Hugh_JaRod · 2026-10-30 19:59 UTC
That’s an amazing play all around!!

LeBron would've flopped and gotten tagged out after all for coming off the bag.

If the second baseman's body made contact with the runner prior to the runner touching the base will it be considered an out, or does the glove with the ball need to touch the runner?
16. u/RoosterzRevenge · 2026-10-30 19:51 UTC
Glove with ball
17. u/DABDEB · 2026-10-30 20:42 UTC
thank you
18. u/RoosterzRevenge · 2026-10-30 20:42 UTC
No worries

If I had the ball in my hand and drop kicked a baserunner, would they be out?

Yes, but not in the baseball sense of the word. More of “grab the smelling salts” out.
