Listen, I’m not here to sh*t on Jason Heyward. His time in Chicago was extremely unsuccessful, but he seemed like a perfectly nice person and was clearly a great teammate. Perhaps even more to the point, even when he was struggling at the plate, he was almost always a stud defender in right field. In fact he won two of his FIVE Gold Gloves with the Cubs, and anyone that watched him knew how special he was out there.
And that’s what makes this so hilarious.
Now with the Los Angeles Dodgers (with the bill being footed by the Cubs), Jason Heyward just made one of the most hilariously bad defensive plays you’ll ever see from anyone, let alone a five-time Gold Glover.
The bounce off the glove, the tumble, the whiff on the reach … it’s all priceless.
