While the Mets’ season has been over for a while, these final games matter a lot to guys like Tim Locastro who are hoping to make a big league roster next year. When Locastro and his agent talk with teams this winter about what he can bring to a team, they should use this play he made on Sunday night in Philadelphia as an example of the little things he does to make a team better.
In the sixth inning, Locastro made a brilliant—and unusual—decision on the base paths to prevent a double play and keep the inning alive.
