At times, it’s easy to take for granted — or even overlook — just how otherworldly MLB players are at baseball. But every player on the field is literally among the best 945 people on the planet at the sport. The skill is undeniable.
Braves outfielder Adam Duvall served as a reminder of that on Sunday.
In between innings of the Braves’ game against the A’s, some fans seated in the right-field Chop House seats built up a pyramid of beer cups. And they desperately tried to get Duvall’s attention for some target practice.
Duvall realized exactly what the fans wanted him to do, and in one simple throw, he took out the entire beer cup pyramid.

We’re talking about a throw that was up a 16-foot wall and a few rows back. It’s one thing if he was throwing at a target on level ground, but Duvall had to get the height and distance just right. That was far from easy, and he got it on his first attempt.
It’s silly how good MLB players are at baseball. That’s proof right there.
