The legend continues: Yasiel Puig shows off his laser rocket arm

In no surprise to anyone, Dodgers rookie phenom Yasiel Puig continues to be really good at baseball.

He’s already had a multi-homer game and a game-ending double play. He’s hit an opposite-field grand slam. And, on Saturday, he cut the field in half to make a huge out at third base (via MLB):

Of course, it would be silly to compare Puig to legendary outfield gunner Bo Jackson this early on, right? Right. But I’ll just leave this suspiciously similar clip right over here (via The War Eagle Reader):

Sadly, Puig’s efforts did not inspire a rally and Los Angeles fell to the Atlanta Braves, 2-1.
