Los Angeles Dodgers slugger Kevin Kiermaier showed off his incredible arm strength during Wednesday’s game against the Milwaukee Brewers.
With the Brewers loading the bases in the bottom of the first inning, William Contreras hit a ball toward center field, but Kiermaier caught the ball and threw it absurdly toward home plate, striking out Brice Turanga, who was trying to score from third base.

It wasn’t the first time Kiermaier had thrown a defensive highlight reel. He has plenty of them on his resume. He is, after all, a four-time Gold Glove winner, including one in 2023 when he was still with the Toronto Blue Jays.
Luckily for Turang and the Brewers, they were the ones who ultimately got the laugh, as Milwaukee ended a three-game skid with a 5-4 victory over the Dodgers. Turang also went 1-for-2 with a run scored to go with an RBI as he tripled in the second inning to send Sal Frelick home.
Fans react to Kevin Kiermaier’s throw during the Milwaukee Brewers-Los Angeles Dodgers game
“I didn’t have ‘Kiermaier to Barnes for a double play’ on my 2024 Dodgers bingo card. But I’m here for it.”
“What a piece of art!”
“Man, we as baseball fans haven’t had over a decade of watching Kevin Keirmayer be an absolute weapon in the outfield.”
“Can we talk Kiermaier into staying out of retirement? Like a one-year deal? And then re-sign Teoscar? I could finally love our outfield again. Kiermaier could have a .200 average all year long and I wouldn’t care about his defense.”
“Oh my God! What a throw by Kiermaier!!! 💪🏼💪🏼💪🏼🔥🔥🔥”
