US EditionCleveland's DeLauter Drops Fly Ball in Center on First Ball in Majors Before Making Key Play in 4th
DeLauter's 92.3 mph throw led to a crucial out that wiped a Detroit run and helped Cleveland secure a 6-1 win to extend the Wild Card Series.
- On Wednesday in Cleveland, Chase DeLauter made his major-league debut in center field and after dropping the first fly ball he later made a momentum-shifting defensive play.
- As the sixth postseason debutant, Chase DeLauter became the first Cleveland player to do so, and Guardians manager Stephen Vogt said he told DeLauter on Monday there was a good chance he'd play on Wednesday.
- The throw registered 92.3 mph, marking the fifth-fastest outfield assist this season as Chase DeLauter fielded Javier Báez's fourth-inning hit and threw to third where José Ramírez tagged out Zach McKinstry.
- The video review overturned the safe call at third, removing one run and leaving the game tied 1-1, before Cleveland's 6-1 victory on Wednesday forced a deciding game on Thursday.
- DeLauter said the experience felt surreal with many family members present, describing 'unreal emotions' before the game while Stephen Vogt, Guardians manager, called the play a huge moment.
