John Brenkus and the ESPN Sport Science Team dissect three top plays for the month of June. This month they focus on: Orioles OF Adam Jones using his “kinesthetic awareness” to track down a batted ball and catch it “in the sixth of a second between leaving the ground and colliding with the outfield wall.” Mexico’s Giovani Dos Santos sealing the win over the US when, “Actually moving away from the goal, he plants his right foot perpendicular to the ball’s path and gets off the shot only a tenth of a second before two defenders close the window.” Bruins goalie Tim Thomas stopping back-to-back shots against Vancouver in the Stanley Cup Finals with flash moves of his right knee in 35 thousandths of a second, and his glove hand in less than nine-tenths of a second.
