Philadelphia Phillies center fielder Odubel Herrera just made one of the best plays you’ll see in baseball this season.
Atlanta Braves star slugger Freddie Freeman crushed a flyball to center field, and Herrera jumped over the wall to rob Freeman of a home run. Herrera’s glove even hit a bush over the wall at Citizens Bank Park.
Video and GIFs of the incredible play (and a hilarious reaction from Phillies pitcher Nick Pivetta):

Odubel Herrera makes a ridiculous, home-run saving catch in center field. Probably the best I've seen.

This comes just two weeks after Herrera robbed a homer against the Cincinnati Reds with this no-look, game-saving catch in the 10th inning.
Herrera, 26, is one of the most exciting players in baseball (his bat flips are especially hilarious), and you get an idea why after seeing these catches.
