Last week in Baltimore when the identical two groups performed, Mullins robbed Buxton of additional bases by working down a ball within the hole, catching the ball on his backhand earlier than pushing off the wall together with his leg.
Buxton has had a number of hard-hit balls discover gloves in latest video games, and has been seen tipping his hat to opponents after spotlight catches.
“It’s baseball. It’s part of it. Before that, I couldn’t put the ball in play,” he stated. “That’s part of it. Stay positive with the highs and lows.”
