Reds catcher Tyler Stephenson dodged a tag with insane slide

Catchers aren't known for being the fastest. They also aren't known for being the most evasive.

Tyler Stephenson needed to make sure he had one of those skills on Sunday, or the Cincinnati Reds catcher would've been dead meat at second base.

He certainly didn't have enough speed. Stephenson was thrown out by a bunch.

Except, then he pulled out one of the coolest slide-dodge moves you'll ever see. Safe.

To go into the slide itself and manage to bounce right out of it around the tag is really cool.

Most of the slide dodges you see come on headfirst slides that feature some kind of swim move with the hands.

Not this one. Stephenson just scooted right on by.
