Could Kevin Pillar BE any more like Superman?

Bruce Bochy has trotted out Kevin Pillar over Steven Duggar in center field since Duggar’s call-up.
Pillar is making that decision look smart.
With runners on first and second and one out against the Phillies at Oracle Park on Monday, Kurt Suzuki lined a Jeff Samardzija fastball to left. Pillar got a good jump on it and didn’t quit sprinting until his body was horizontal.
The veteran laid out and speared the ball, flopping on the ground and saving both the Giants and Samardzija, who raised his hand in appreciation. The runners retreated to their bases, and Samardzija then struck out Victor Robles to escape the danger.
