Good points. And I'm not criticizing Hanley, just saying that with that many strides while looking at the ball, I was a little surprised it hit him. Initially I thought he just wasn't looking back, which you often see when this type of play happens.
I just want to point out that he did not take 4 steps while watching the ball in flight. He took four steps while watching the pitch being delivered. Contact was made after his 6th step, by which point he was looking at second base, not home, and he was struck a little more than a second after that. The stills are not all from after the pitch has been delivered.
