Decent but not nearly as good as Tyler Thornburg’s two catches in the same game.
He is now a stud in the brewers system.

I think the one in the post is better than both of Tyler Thornburg’s combined.
Like, way better.
here’s my question: who in the fucking fuck builds an outfield fence that short? i realize that only the bullpen section of the fence is that tiny and the rest is big-people height, but seriously? is a fence still a fence when you can leap over it without touching it? or is it more like a midget-corral?
So true. I hate Fenway Park for so many reasons but that short fence in Boston is ridiculous.
What’s the rule on what a legitimate catch is? I presume you have to catch the ball before you hit the ground on the other side of the fence? i.e., not allowed to leap over the fence, take five steps back, then catch the ball…
I didn’t know the answer to this, either, but according to KLaw on the twitter your feet have to be “over the field” when you catch the ball.
