It isn't unique to see one of baseball's top defensive center fielders praise another, but it takes a pretty special play to inspire an opponent to pay a compliment to the person who just robbed his teammate.
After Boston Red Sox center fielder Jackie Bradley Jr. delivered a highlight-reel play to rob Tampa Bay Rays hitter Tommy Pham of what would have surely been an extra-base knock Friday, Kevin Kiermaier took to Twitter to applaud his effort.

Kiermaier is a two-time Gold Glove winner, with some pretty remarkable defensive gems on his resume, so his approval holds weight.
