Look at that man fly all around the bases. As the Freeway Series heads to its final game, the newly acquired shortstop for the Los Angeles Dodgers, Trea Turner, made one of the best plays you'll see all week.
After Turner was walked by Angels pitcher Reid Detmers, centerfielder A.J. Pollock hit a ground ball single that sent the former Washington Nationals star home:

Fan's reaction to the outstanding play shows how happy they are with the now-second basemen:
this man, faster than light.

It should come as no surprise that Turner is making these kinds of plays for the Dodgers. In six at-bats, he is hitting a solid .333 AVG, three runs, and no strikeouts. With an impressive combination of speed, power and contact, he should be a crucial piece for the team when the postseason comes rolling around.
With the help of Turner and superstar pitcher Max Scherzer, the Dodgers will look to continue their postseason push and retain their title as the best team in the MLB. After Sunday's game, the Boys in Blue will face the rising Philadelphia Phillies, who are looking to win the NL East.
After a three-game series, the Dodgers will stay in the NL East and face the falling New York Mets who are desperately looking to win some games after hitting a bad slump. Throughout these games, Turner should be able to show all fans alike what kind of talent he has. Should he take advantage of the attraction, he may just prove to the league that he is the best shortstop/second baseman in the league.
