Orioles 3rd baseman puts the 'macho' in Machado with unreal long distance throw

Power, distance, accuracy: Manny Machado is headed for the big time.

BALTIMORE ORIOLES THIRD baseman Manny Machado made an incredible play against the Yankees yesterday, showing off his strong arm and throwing out a runner from deep in foul territory.

The 21-year-old is in his first full season in the big leagues and has turned heads with both his bat and his glove.

Defensively, he has saved the Orioles 15.8 runs according to Ultimate Zone Rating (UZR). That leads all of Major League Baseball and watching this play, it is easy to see why:
