Pete Crow-Armstrong is out here making Trea Turner look like an amateur.
Crow-Armstrong, a top prospect in the Chicago Cubs organization, went viral over the weekend for his physics-defying slide during a game. While playing for the Double-A Tennessee Smokies, Crow-Armstrong smacked an extra-base hit off the center field wall. He tried to turn the hit into a triple but was beaten by the relay throw by quite a bit. Unfazed, Crow-Armstrong put his thinking cap on and suddenly stopped short after going into his slide. The unconventional move caught the third baseman off guard and allowed Crow-Armstrong to spring up and sneak his foot onto the bag before the tag could be applied.
Here is the wild clip (where Crow-Armstrong added in a JR Smith-esque celebration after the stunt for good measure):
