The nominees include plenty of awesomeness from Gold Glover Juan Lagares.
After determining the Most Regrettable Mets Moment of 2014 yesterday, we turn to a more pleasant category: Best Mets Defensive Play of 2014. The nominees could probably be a greatest hits of Juan Lagares's season, but we've added a few non-Lagares plays as well. He would certainly win for body of work.
