Alek Manoah plucked an absolute blinder in Spring Training while pitching for the Toronto Blue Jays against the Pittsburgh Pirates. Manoah threw 1 2/3 innings in his spring debut, allowing one run on three hits while striking out a pair as the Blue Jays and Pirates played out to a two-all tie.Fans were impressed by the star pitcher's catch as they expressed their reactions on Twitter.Alek Manoah was highly impressive last season as the leading pitcher for the Blue Jays. The 25-year-old has been with the franchise since 2021 when he was picked as the 11th overall draft pick in the MLB Draft. In 2022, he was in close contention for the Cy Young Award, finishing third in voting behind Justin Verlander and Dylan Cease.The Blue Jays were hoping to settle their pitcher in the squad in Spring Training, and Manoah grabbed a flying ball hit straight at him by Pirates' Canaan Smith-Njigba with genuine ease and amazing reflex.Toronto Blue Jays@BlueJaysYou going for that Gold Glove, @Alek_Manoah6? 1820127You going for that Gold Glove, @Alek_Manoah6? 👀 https://t.co/glrUeItoxdHowever, fans were genuinely impressed by the pitch.

Alek Manoah only pitched 37 times, looking to get comfortable in his own skin again. He will be looking to repeat the same efforts that brought him success last season and bring back this variety of pitches.“I feel really good about that pitch to both sides of the plate, both righties and lefties,” Alek Manoah said after the game. “I threw some good ones to lefties, then threw some to righties that were kind of down. I’ll continue to throw it and continue to build confidence with it.”If he does prove to be this good on the mound, Alek is definitely going to be one of the early contenders for the Cy Young Award and answering his team's question, he might win the Gold Glove Award, too.
