Yadier Molina
Yadier Molina is one amazing athlete.
Molina was 1-for-4 wtih one run in Tuesday afternoon’s game. In the fourth inning, Molina reached base on a throwing error by Diego Castillo, allowing him to reach second. Edmundo Sosa teached on another throwing error by Castillo.
With Nolan Gorman batting, Molina advanced to third base on a balk, which it appeared the future Hall of Famer helped the umpiring crew call. Molina calmly told the umpires he saw the balk, the crew gathered and moments later allowed Molina and Sosa to advance a base. Gorman ended up walking to load the bases.
Goldschmidt then reached on a fielder’s choice, allowing Molina to score.
That was excellent work by Molina.
Yadier Molina hauls in a pop-up from Ke'Bryan Hayes with one out in the top of the sixth. That's his 14,865th putout of his career -- passing Ivan Rodriguez for the most putouts in MLB history. #STLCards

Molina also made some history behind the plate as he passed Ivan ‘Pudge’ Rodriguez wtih the most career putouts in his career wtih 14,865.
That’s just amazing work from the future Hall of Fame catcher. What an epic achievement.
