Joe Panik made the best defensive play of the 2014 WS last year in game 7, by diving headlong for Hosmer's ground ball up the middle in the 3rd with nobody out.
Not only did he get to it, he flipped it with his glove to 2nd and Crawford, (after a review and the first reversal in WS a history) turned it into a double play. That play took the wind out of the sails as the Royals managed on one hit in the next 5 innings.
Joe Panik is a big game, big play stud.
