A Pittsburgh Pirates fan reeled in a home run ball hit by the Arizona Diamondbacks’ Welington Castillo on Friday night at Chase Field.
And he did so barehanded.
While holding a baby.
Here’s video of the catch, and also an interview with the fan, Justin Kirkpatrick:

Making a barehanded catch while holding a baby sounds hard enough, but the crowded area and all of the hands going up had to make that an even more difficult play. Outstanding focus by Justin to snag that ball, which — as they said in the video- is going to be autographed by Castillo. Very cool.
