Guardians’ Jose Ramirez just had the best slide in MLB history image

Cleveland superstar Jose Ramirez can do anything on the baseball field for the Guardians.

Apparently, that includes some sliding sorcery.

On Saturday night, Ramirez took off for second base when Jose Alvarado made a Phillies pickoff throw to first.

Ramirez would've been dead meat, except for some magic.

That was about the only bright spot for the Guardians on the night, as they fell 7-1 to the Phillies.

Ramirez proves night in and night out that he's one of the best players in baseball.

His place in baseball history isn't as obvious as it is for physically larger superstars in much bigger cities.

But Ramirez is likely on a Hall of Fame trajectory.

This steal on Saturday night didn't mean much in the course of this game. But it might make his career highlight reel anyways. It was just that good.
