Here are the second batch of candidates for Play of the Year. This selection covers catcher, first- and second-base. The winner will go onto the final vote, which will take place next week.

Lamb makes catch at the railing (08/21)
Jake Lamb makes a catch at the railing in foul territory, retiring Trevor Story for the second out in the top of the 3rd inning
Kelly’s great late catch (08/10)
Carson Kelly stays focused on the ball and retires A.J. Pollock after the ball hits the knob of his bat and pops up in the 11th inning. [Maybe not the most spectacular, but certainly among the most enjoyable! Just look at Pollock’s face...]
