It’s usually the players that you have to watch out for while they make amazing catches, but this time a San Diego mom took the first place.

What are the details?

Lexy Whitmore, 30, was in San Diego to see her beloved Padres, as Fox News reports. While there she snagged a foul ball with her bare hands! And this happened while the mom was holding her 3-month-old son Maverick with the other arm. The mom with the best reflexes was in the Petco Park stands when the unique catch took place.

The Padres cheered the mom and shared the video with the unique catch on social media. The well-chosen caption for it was, “Moms are amazing.”

“I think the reason it was shared on social media and kind of went viral it's just a little glimpse into what us multitasking moms do all the time,” Whitmore said for FOX 11.

The supermom is a marketing manager, and she works for a tech company in the Bay Area. When she made the highlighted catch on Wednesday afternoon, she had her 9-year-old daughter and her mother with her as well. In fact, she credits her daughter Lily for the catch she made.

“We would be practicing and playing catch. And I would have Maverick on my arm,” she shared with the news outlet.

Whitmore’s husband was not there to see the unique catch, but he had good reasons for it. He is a firefighter and paramedic training with the Navy Reserves, according to the news outlet.

The Padres also reached out to Lexy and intend to have her out on the field sometime.

“You might be throwing out the first pitch at a game maybe?”

“I'm sure I could do that with the baby in my hands too,” Lexy replied playfully after the one-of-a-kind catch that just goes to show moms really do have superpowers.
