Duffey snags liner scorched right at him

BALTIMORE -- Twins right-hander Tyler Duffey hasn't been in the Majors for too long, but he made a big league play Thursday night against the Orioles.

Facing Baltimore's Adam Jones to open the bottom of the fourth inning, Duffey caught a frozen rope smashed right back at him. Duffey, whose momentum after his delivery was carrying him to the first-base side of the mound, quickly flipped his shoulders and caught the liner a foot or two away from his face.

The ball left Jones' bat at 101 mph, according to Statcast™.
