Eric Hosmer is on a mission to wrap up the ALCS sooner rather than later.

The Kansas City Royals first baseman announced his presence early in Game 5, tracking an Edwin Encarnacion pop up down the first-base line to make an incredibly difficult over-the-shoulder catch in the second inning.

Hosmer, a two-time Gold Glover, is also having a huge postseason at the plate, hitting .243/.256/.342 with a home run and 10 RBIs coming into play Wednesday.
