Jason Heyward might be struggling at the plate this season, but he still has a hell of an arm.
During the top of the fourth inning in Wednesday’s New York Mets-Chicago Cubs rubber match, Heyward made a defensive play that was just spectacular. Heyward nailed James Loney at the plate with 2 outs to save a run and preserve the Cubs 3-0 lead.
