Ryan Zimmerman's never been known for his defensive abilities as a first baseman, but it looks like he's been practicing a little bit.
The Washington Nationals slugger showed he can still play a little bit of defense Monday night when he nabbed Rhys Hoskins at first base with a slick, no-look, backhanded toss that landed squarely in A.J. Cole's waiting glove at first.
Zimmerman certainly made it look like he's practiced that no-look toss a million times before.
