Jesus Sanchez Caught a Bare Hander Like It Was Nothing

It’s not everyday you see a Major Leaguer not have  to use a glove to catch a baseball. Jesús Sánchez did that very feat, and now he joins the ultra-exclusive club last night by performing that feat on a fly ball down the right-field line. Did he put himself in a desperate situation by playing a routine chance into something extraordinary?

He sure did.

Watch  the catch below:

“I was just running really hard after the ball,” Sánchez said postgame. “I was trying to be very careful with the wall, and I was looking at the wall, looking at the ball, and then suddenly I looked at the ball and I passed the ball completely. I didn’t have any reach with my left hand, so I just pulled that right hand and suddenly I grabbed it.

The 23-year-old Sanchez is one of 14 rookies on the Miami Marlins.

Now he’ll forever be linked with Kevin Mitchell.

It's Kevin Mitchell's birthday, so it gives us an excuse to post the time he caught a fly ball with his bare hand. pic.twitter.com/Rm6sOrYCTx
