The #DidYouSeaThat Plays of the Year semifinals begin
Just like that, we’re down to the final six. One semifinal today, one semifinal tomorrow—and then the two plays that emerge will go head-to-head for 48 hours to start next week, with a victor revealed on Wednesday.
In the first semifinal, we’ve got a two-on-one fast break, with two huge homers from Mike Zunino going against a robbery from Mitch Haniger.
Haniger’s Home Run Robbery
In a game in which he notched four RBI at the dish, it may as well have been seven total as this robbery brought back a three-run bomb—that, of course, to go with the three-run drive of his own off Cole Hamels.
Zunino Walks It Off
A key part of Mike Zunino’s monster 2017 at the dish was his ability to connect with pitches on the outer half and drive them to right and right-center. That was never more on display than with this game-winning two-run shot.
Z Almost Leaves the Park
Aaron Judge’s drive to almost the exact same spot received a whole lot more attention—but it wasn’t quite as grand. With the sacks full, Mike Z drove this one a projected 441 feet into the upper tank.
Here’s a look at the bracket heading into the semifinals.
