Jose Bautista Reminds Fans He is More Than Just a Home Run Hitter (But He's Still One of Those Too)

Ever since he hit 54 home runs back in 2010 Toronto Blue Jays outfielder Jose Bautista has been known for wielding a pretty big stick when he gets up to bat. He proved that the following year when he knocked in 43 in 2011, and where it not for injuries that caused him to miss almost half the season he would have certainly hit more than 27 in 2012.

But the man is much more than an offensive machine. While he is quite capable of knocking balls silly whenever he steps in the batter's box, he is just as capable of sending the home just as fast.

Like he did in Saturday's game against the Boston Red Sox when Shane Victorino tried to go home.


Yeah, Dodgers outfielder Yasiel Puig isn't the only guy with a rocket arm!

Joey Batts is still Joey Batts though, and hit career home runs No. 200 and 201 to help his team to a 6-2 victory over Boston.
