When it comes to smooth slides, Trea Turner is the undisputed MLB champ. But even Turner hasn’t pulled off a slide quite like the one we saw from Guardians shortstop Gabriel Arias on Wednesday.
He went right through the catcher’s legs.
During the afternoon matchup against the Royals, the Guardians looked to add to their early lead after Steven Kwan knocked a one-out single to center field. Arias made a great read on the ball, taking off on contact and continuing home. But Kyle Isbel came up firing with his throw to the plate, forcing Arias to break out one of the cooler slides we’ll see this season.
Problem: Play at the plate.

Again, he went right through catcher Freddy Fermin’s legs and beat the tag.
Home plate umpire Pat Hoberg surprisingly missed the call on the field and initially ruled Arias out at the plate. An argument could have been made that Arias should have been safe regardless with Fermin blocking the plate. But the crew would get the call right after review and give Arias the run.
That slide was key. It was so smooth, and MLB fans agreed.
