The Tampa Bay Rays don't really have a star right now. But Willy Adames might be "it": mlb.com/rays/news/will… @RaysBaseball @MLB (více...)

Willy Adames hit a solo home run and drew a walk in the Rays' ALDS Game 4 win over the Astros on Tuesday.

Adames executed an absolutely perfect relay throw from center fielder Kevin Kiermaier to catcher Travis d'Arnaud in the top of the fourth inning to cut down Jose Altuve at home plate, then promptly slugged a leadoff home run off Justin Verlander in the bottom half of that frame which pushed the Rays' lead to 4-0. They would go on to win 4-1, forcing a Game 5 back in Houston on Thursday. Adames is 5-for-10 (.500) with three walks and two home runs through four October games.

Willy Adames of @RaysBaseball threw out a runner at home in the top of the 4th, then homered to lead off the bottom of the 4th. He's the 1st player in MLB playoff history to throw out a runner at the plate (excluding force-outs) and then lead off the next half-inning with a HR. (více...)

So Willy Adames is having the greatest 5 minutes in baseball history. That's cool. That's very cool. (více...)

The more I watch Willy Adames, the more he looks like a star in the making. That's as gorgeous a relay throw to the plate as you'll ever see. Anybody have the @statcast MPH reading? (více...)
