You see the play seemingly a thousand times a year in Major League Baseball: A player slides into second or third and the fielder with the ball keeps his glove on the runner for an extra beat or two, in the hopes that maybe there’ll be a moment of stepping off the bag.
Rarely, it results in an out. And that’s what happened with Isiah Kiner-Falefa and Bo Bichette.
On Tuesday, Bichette hit a double against the New York Yankees, and after he got up at second base, Kiner-Falefa delivered a late tag on the Toronto Blue Jays infielder … and Bichette was out!
Oops!
Bo Bichette comes off the bag and IKF holds the tag on him and he’s out! pic.twitter.com/KKkJgY1kYK

This is Bo Bichette. He's one of the best young players in all of baseball. His only flaws are that he can't throw the ball to first base or remember to stay on the base pic.twitter.com/4HEDomTliR
