Don't hit the ball to Aledmys Diaz.
Not only does the St. Louis Cardinals shortstop hit the cover off the ball, but he can make the tough plays look easy, too.
With the Chicago Cubs up 6-0 in the second inning with a runner on first, Anthony Rizzo was primed for a bloop single to left to beat his extreme right-side shift.
Instead, Diaz tracked the ball to shallow left field, extended the arm and made an outstanding catch before doubling off Kris Bryant at first.
