Dodgers' Yasiel Puig gets force-out at second base with laser throw image

The throw Yasiel Puig made against the Pirates on Saturday should be illegal in the United States.

Pittsburgh outfielder Starling Marte stepped to the plate in the bottom of the first inning with Gregory Polanco on first base. Marte hit a single to right field, where Puig was waiting to grab the ball with his bare hand and fire a rocket for the force-out at second.

Granted Polanco has experienced his fair share of trouble on the bases, but that was just an absurd throw by Puig. Don't challenge this man's arm.
