There are some outfielders in the bigs you just don't challenge as a baserunner. One of those feared arms belongs to Oakland Athletics outfielder Yoenis Cespedes, as evidenced by his two amazing outfield assists Saturday night vs. the Los Angeles Angels.

And Cespedes threw out Kole Calhoun later in the inning in a similar fashion. The play can be viewed here.
Apparently, it has been a long time since an A's player has accomplished the feat.
Yoenis Cespedes is the first #Athletics outfielder with two assists in an inning since Matt Stairs on April 16, 1996.
