With a lefty Marlins starter on the mound this afternoon, Nico Hoerner lead off today’s game for the Chicago Cubs. And he did it in style, ripping a leadoff double to the left-center field wall, before coming into score a couple batters later. But even more impressive than that was his stellar defensive play in the second inning.
Watch him steal a hit from Jesus Sanchez with some fancy glove work and his incredible athleticism.

And Dansby Swanson followed that up with a great play of his own immediately after.
