The Atlanta Braves recent extension of Ender Inciarte had me all giddy inside. Then, it got me thinking, what were his best plays in the past season?

Having Ender Inciarte on the Atlanta Braves 2016 roster was not just fun, but it was down-right exciting to watch.

In an otherwise down year, the Braves didn’t disappoint when it came to theatrics, drama, or just heady baseball plays.

The team as a whole may have been less than desirable at times to watch, but you never wanted to miss a game. You didn’t want to miss something spectacular from the Braves now long-term fixture in Center Field.

Inciarte had plenty of stand out plays over the course of the season. However, for the sake of time, space, and all that stuff, I’d like to highlight the top 5 Ender Inciarte moments in 2016.

Be warned that these may not be in the order you would like or agree with. Make no mistake, though, all of them were spectacular, fun, exciting, entertaining, or any other adjective you want to use.

So, without further ado, my top five Inciarte plays of 2016.

(These are not just defensive plays. Base-running, and offense is included)
