It's time for this corny animation to be eliminated. I can't remember how many years it's been in baseball since a pitcher has done this yet it's once or twice a game in the show.
As far as diving stops go, David Ortiz shouldn't be able to lay out with the reflexes of a cat to snag hard hit grounders or a third basemen diving, popping up and throwing out a guy like it's nothing. It kills the realism and it's extremely arcadish.
