The Oakland A’s made it known through trading for Jeff Samardzija and Jason Hammel a few weeks ago, that they were putting all their chips toward the middle of the table and  going all in to win the World series this season.

Yoenis Cespedes is known for his all around great game, but his arm has been the star of the show the past two nights in major league baseball. We see all sorts of throws in baseball, ranging from laughable and way off the target to ones that make you stop and just say “How did he make that throw” Cespedes had not one but two of those type of highlight throws in the just completes series the Athletics had vs. the Los Angeles Angels of Anaheim.
