Texas Rangers OF Goes Viral For Incredible Gymnastics Move in Game 2 of ALCS

Texas Rangers outfielder Adolis Garcia went viral on the internet early on in Game 2 of the ALCS vs. the Houston Astros.

The reason? His gymnastics moves at home plate after getting hit by Framber Valdez. Check out the tweet from the MLB account as Garcia takes a fastball off the shoes.

Now, I'm not smart enough to know if that's a cartwheel or a roundoff or what, but either way, it's very impressive. Just add it to the list of things that Garcia does incredibly well.

A two-time All-Star, Garcia was a huge part of the Rangers' vaunted order this regular season. He hit .245 with 39 home runs and 107 RBI. He also stole nine bases and posted an .836 OPS. Lifetime, he's got 97 homers and 299 regular season RBI.

At the time of this posting, the Rangers lead the Astros 5-3 in the eighth inning. Garcia is 1-for-3 and is hitting .258 this postseason with two home runs and six RBI.

He's in his fifth major league season with the Cardinals and Rangers. He's under contract through the 2026 season.

The Rangers are seeking a 2-0 series lead in the best-of-seven affair. Game 3 of the series will be played in Arlington on Wednesday night.

First pitch in that game is set for 8:03 p.m. ET. The Astros have not announced a starting pitcher yet while the Rangers will go with veteran Max Scherzer, who was just put on the ALCS roster after not being active in the first two rounds because of injury.
