By Joey Mauceri
Another day, another absurd play made by Oakland A's third baseman Matt Chapman. Check out this web gem he just made against the Detroit Tigers.
Can't blame the umps for initially calling him safe, because this is another insane play by chappy ?#RootedInOakland pic.twitter.com/5C8k4hlwPK

Chapman, who was recently moved up to the two-hole in the lineup, is making just as big of impact with his glove as his bat, which should come as no surprise given his defensive prowess.
Chapman is widely considered to be one of, if not the best, defensive third baseman in baseball. The range he showed off backhanding that ball, and then the ridiculously strong throw against his body right on the money is certainly awe-inspiring.
