Dyson uses blazing speed to rob Yelich at wall

MLB.com

Kansas City Royals outfielder Jarrod Dyson will surely sit atop many highlight reels on Thursday after chasing down, and robbing, a hit from Christian Yelich of the Miami Marlins.

After Yelich hammered a deep fly ball to center field in the game's first inning, which looked destined for extra bases, Dyson used his speed and jumping ability to send Yelich back to the bench with nothing to show for his efforts.

What made the catch extra impressive was the fact it traveled at an exit velocity of 103 mph and traveled 414 feet before Dyson used a top speed of 19.8 mph and a route efficiency of 95.8 percent to run 98 feet to track it down.
