No one is having as much fun playing baseball as Wander Franco is right now.
After stunning MLB fans with an awesome over-the-shoulder barehanded catch not too long ago, Franco is continuing to impress with his fielding ability. This time, however, Franco added some flourish to a routine baseball play.
Dubbed a “ball flip” by fans, Franco scooped up a ground ball behind second base then proceeded to spin it in the air before firing to first for an out. Not only was Franco’s throw to first base on the money, he had more than enough time to get the Pittsburgh Pirates runner out too.
Baseball is fun.

Baseball needs more of what Franco is bringing to the table, honestly!
MLB fans absolutely loved Franco’s nonchalant “ball flip” before throwing an out at first.

If you don’t think this is extremely cool, you have to either adapt or leave. https://t.co/ji33yPx9LG
