Watch Matt Garza make a barehanded play and actually make the throw to first

Fred Hofstetter on September 3, 2017

Matt Garza just made a barehanded stab at a comebacker and successfully threw the baseball to first base. He threw the ball to first base.

This might be the most athletic thing Matt Garza has ever done.

The barehanded stop was the easy part. Harder yet is getting the ball to first base without it sailing into the fifth row.

Matt’s had his struggles.

Love to see a guy beat his demons.
