George Springer has made a number of highlight catches this season, but his most recent catch – amazing catch on a dead sprint right behind him – caused him make an amazing highlight grab but also caused him to face plant the right field wall.

That catch cost Springer seven days on the DL and gave him his first ever concussion. The contact he made with the wall was so hard it was able to jar his contacts lose.

“I’m going to play the same way” George Springer said when asked if after this experience was going to change the way he played.

“I’m really not to concurred about the wall” Springer said “i’m going to get out there and play, if I have to hit it again i’ll just try not to hit it with my head.”

Springer’s defensive WAR 3.1 is the highest for all right fielders, no doubt due to his “no ball is to far away” attitude, Springer is clearly one of the better defenders in baseball.

“My job is the ball gets hit, I’m suppose to go catch it” Springer said.

It’s a simple job, and he won’t go changing it, and one bad experience won’t cause him change the way he goes about his job. “You can’t, cause that’s when you play scared and that’s not how I am.” Springer said.

It’s hard to tell Springer who is as good as he is in the field to be more cautious and reign it in when going after fly balls. Springer’s all out style is what helps him get to those baseball’s you don’t think he will be able to get.
