Fernando Tatis Jr. added to his career highlights during the San Diego Padres’ game against the New York Mets on Tuesday, Aug. 18.
Tatis denied Francisco Lindor a grand slam in the bottom of the second inning while the Padres had a 1-0 lead.
Tatis jumped up and caught the ball just before it could go over the fence in right field. He stared down toward the infield after making the catch while Padres pitcher Robbie Ray celebrated from the mound with a look of shock as the inning came to an end.
DID HE CATCH IT?!
