All 285 pounds (at least) of Bartolo Colon chased down A.J. Pierzynski during Thursday's Mets-Braves for one of the more unusual pickoffs you'll ever see. 

Pierzynski broke for second too quickly and Colon ran after him, freezing him by faking the throw to first. 

• Joe Nathan has torn UCL in right elbow, out for season

It was Colon's first successful pickoff since 2013 and only his fifth in the past 11 years. 

• Report: Arbitration likely in Yankees fight over A-Rod bonus
