Saw a similar play recently in another MLB game (sorry I can't identify it precisely; the games roll one into another for me). Somebody was stealing 2B, the throw went into the outfield, and F6 tagged the sliding runner and held the tag on as he got up. The runner was not fooled.

As everyone has said, this is not uncommon in pro ball. It's just part of the game.
