The San Francisco Giants outfielder ran towards the wall at Oracle Park to trace down a deep fly throughout Sunday’s recreation towards the Tampa Bay Rays ― however the ball rolled off his glove and down his leg earlier than he secured the ball between his knees.
“Catch of the last decade,” broadcaster Duane Kuiper mentioned.
“Haven’t seen that earlier than,” Giants supervisor Bob Melvin added after the sport, per MLB.com.
Lee had a distinct take.
“It was a humorous catch, for certain,” he mentioned by means of an interpreter, per CNN.
The Rays’ Yandy Diaz, who hit the fourth-inning drive, informed MLB.com he thought he had a double “however I had the dangerous luck that he caught the ball. I believe he’s the one participant who’s ever performed that. It was a really bizarre play.”
