The Boston Red Sox haven't exactly been the best defensive team team so far this season. In fact, they've made more errors (38) than any other team in baseball.
However, on Friday night, in the middle of their 7-2 loss to the Milwaukee Brewers at Fenway Park, Red Sox rookie Ceddanne Rafaela made one of the most impressive plays you'll see this year.
Brewers infielder Joey Ortiz drove a ball to the gap in left-center, forcing Rafaela to dive and fully extend for an absolute robbery of a ball that would've gone for extra bases.

Boston's versatile rookie has been playing multiple positions this year, but watching him man center field is a joy.
