Vlad Jr Nearly Impales Himself at 3B Legging Out a Triple
The Toronto Blue Jays seem to be building an unstoppable army of MLB offspring complete with baseball tools.
Of course, this cottage industry includes one Vladimir Guerrero Jr, whose numbers are beginning to swell after a dubious start to his career.
Also, please keep in mind that dude isn't yet 21 years of age.
The Junior Impaler has been showing off his full compliment of skills recently, including some surprisingly nimble base running.
Check out this badass swim move he pulled off the other night:

That's tight.
Even though it looked like Vlad just fell down from exhaustion as opposed to actually sliding, the instincts and agility necessary to execute that swim move puts him in our cool book.
Somewhere, Javy Báez is nodding his approval.
El Mago for the win.
This Vlad action calls to mind the very first time he slid into third as a member of the Buffalo Bison.
Memories, we will enjoy them.
