This unique view of Matt Olson’s sweet play at first base is so beautiful

What a cool view of a sweet play by Atlanta’s Matt Olson.

Sometimes it’s easy to watch a baseball game on TV and not fully appreciate a sweet play that’s made in the field. Blame it on camera angles that can make wild things look routine. It happens.

That’s what makes this view of the play Atlanta’s Matt Olson made in the eighth inning of Tuesday night’s game against the A’s look so darn beautiful. Olson fielded the ball behind the bag and had his back turned to the base after he scooped it up. He then calmly turned around and threw a strike to his pitcher, A.J. Minter, who caught it and beat Jonah Bride for the out.

Again, we see plays like this all the time but the camera angle on this one shows just how cool of a play this was:

I’ve watched that like 10 times and I’ll probably watch it some more this afternoon. Everything is perfect on that play, including the catcher backing it up and throwing a fist pump after the out was called.

Twitter loved it, too.
