Minnesota Twins catcher Ryan Jeffers barely had to move to make what has to be one of the coolest catches of the season Wednesday night in Cleveland.
The 24 year old who is in his second year in the big leagues used some quick thinking and some pretty darn good athleticism to snag a foul tip with his bare hand that ended the eighth inning in what turned out to be a 3-0 win for the Twins.
One of the announcers on this clip said he’s never seen a catch like this before and I’m right there with him… because check this thing out:
