It didn't take long for Carlos Correa to make his mark on the 2016 MLB season, and his victim in this case was none other than the New York Yankees and a man he normally draws comparisons to.

In the sixth inning of the Astros' season opener against the New York Yankees, Correa followed up a game-tying home run - his first of the season - by robbing future Hall of Famer Alex Rodriguez with a diving grab in the hole between shortstop and third base.

Correa, who also swiped two bases Monday at Yankee Stadium, is now the second-youngest shortstop in history to homer on Opening Day: Robin Yount, the Milwaukee Brewers great and Hall of Famer went deep during the first game of the 1975 campaign at 19 years and 204 days old.
