The Oakland A’s have a had long and lonely season this year and that season will shortly come to an end with a last place finish in the American League West.
Does that mean their players will taking it easy down this finally stretch? Absolutely not, if you saw what happened in their game against the Los Angeles Angels.
Second baseman Tony Kemp once again showed off his great glove in the field as he made a spectacular diving catch on a ball hit to short right. He seemed to take flight on this thing before nailing the landing:

At first I thought about whether he really needed to dive for that but the more I watched it the more I loved that he dove for that ball.
What a catch.
MLB fans loved it, too.
I'm just laughing because this is such an insane catch. But very on brand for TK https://t.co/weF5Qrzy19

I need to do a count of every time MLB posted something about the A’s this year cause I’m pretty confident it’s all been Tony Kemp making a jaw-dropping highlight play lol https://t.co/oVyx3CCFeG

This kind of play was always fun for me as a 2nd basemen to try and make. Never made a play quite like this though. https://t.co/JIKvxCArTZ
