Which a failed pickoff is technically a steal; however, yes it was definitely Ruiz's fault for not holding that ball for another second to make sure he was actually going back to the base. He was already literally half way through the baseline.

It had to have been a missed sign by Lester or stupid baserunning that happen to work out on Baez's part if it was suppose to be a safety squeeze. More than likely the latter because if it was a missed sign from Lester and it was suppose to be a suicide squeeze; Baez would have been sprinting. He just got lucky but it was great instincts to fake back to 3rd and sprint home.

Literally been untouchable

baez is my new favourite mlb player
guy is a machine

some of his tags and throws are just insanely deadly.
such a stylish ball player.

And he's a lefty. But bats and fields righty

He would be better if his name didn't have that dreadful "bae" neologism

crazy how he went from striking out half the time to this

It's all about adjustments; it's what separates a top prospect from an actual MLB player.

Yeah his adjustments are massive from 2 years ago when he was first called up.
