The first spring training game on MASN is around the corner and baseball in Baltimore is right on its heels!

In just a few days, I’ll be heading down to sunny Sarasota, Fla., to see games with my own two eyes for the first time in 2016. It’s so close I can almost hear the sound of bats cracking and balls popping into mitts!

While real games are a month and a day away, there are still many questions that need to be answered, including:

* With Matt Wieters returning, how much time will Caleb Joseph get behind the dish?

* Can Jonathan Schoop stay healthy this season, and if so, just how big of a year can he have?

While we ponder these questions, let’s take a look back at a great play by the duo of Joseph and Schoop from last season. While Ubaldo Jimenez threw a pitch low – almost in the dirt – Joseph managed to snag it and make a quick throw to second base, which the Mets’ Lucas Duda was trying to steal.

Although the throw was offline, Schoop made a wildly acrobatic play to put the tag on Duda for the out.
