UNREAL FOOTAGE of my Cedric Mullins home run catch!!

You have NEVER seen a video like this one. My videographer, Rachel Messbauer, was facing me with her back turned to the field as I stood on the Flag Court at Camden Yards in Baltimore. Shohei Ohtani was on the mound. Cedric Mullins was at the dish, and he launched one 408 feet in my general vicinity. Rachel was filming me BEFORE the pitch was thrown so you can see my reaction and my entire route to where the ball landed, roughly 25 feet to my right.

This was my first game home run ball of the year and my 89th lifetime (actually 100th if you count toss-ups, which I don't), and I freaked out. Sorry but I have no chill when I catch dingers. Everyone else was freaking out too which made it even more fun.

My next video will be from Yankee Stadium and after that I'll post the full-length video from this game at Camden Yards (which took place on May 15, 2023). Here's a mini-spoiler . . . ready? I talked about the catch itself and how I played it. It might appear that I misjudged the ball a bit and nearly overran it and jumped at the end to recover, but my positioning was 100% intentional. As the ball was descending, I knew exactly where it was going to be, and I intentionally moved up a bit so that I HAD to jump and catch it. I wanted to catch it as high as possible in order to prevent someone else from jumping up in front of me.

Anyway, if you like my shirt, pick one up for yourself here on my website:
