Orioles' Adam Jones Impressed by Mike Trout's Perfect Throw to 2nd Base

Baltimore Orioles star Adam Jones has above-average speed, but the veteran outfielder has learned something over the past few years.

You don't test Los Angeles Angels center fielder Mike Trout's arm.

In the top of the seventh inning of Saturday night's game, Jones—the potential go-ahead run—had a chance to tag up and go for second on a fly ball to deep right-center. But he knew better than to try to run on Trout.

Staying put turned out to be a wise decision. The four-time All-Star fired a perfect throw to second base, leaving Jones impressed. After the play, the two center fielders had some fun with a brief exchange from their respective positions.

Jones, a five-time All-Star, was stranded at first, but that's better than being thrown out at second and killing any chance of a rally. The Orioles pulled out a 3-1 victory thanks to a two-out home run by Matt Wieters in the ninth inning.
