How is this a catch? I thought you had to use your hand or glove and using any other part of your body or equipment to catch a ball is not a catch? Shouldn't he have had to throw him out?

It never hit the ground, and it ended up in his hand.

After being caught up in his shirt which basically trapped it against his body.

Yeah I guess if intent matters he didn't try to use his shirt to trap it even if that was the effect

quote:

A catch is the act of a fielder in getting secure possession in his hand or glove of a ball in flight and firmly holding it; providing he does not use his cap, protector, pocket or any other part of his uniform in getting possession.

He didn't use his uniform, just his body. A later comment makes this more clear:

quote:

A catch is legal if the ball is finally held by any fielder, even though juggled, or held by another fielder before it touches the ground.

Cradling it in his arm is pretty much a juggle.

If you're wearing one you don't take it out during the game. That dude is not wearing one.

It's a problem you think we need to explain ourselves.
It takes a lot of balls to go up there without a cup.

I should note I watched that happen from the stands out in CF and we all thought it hit Kiermaier in the face.

That point and his little "drat that was fast" toss after Chapman threw a 104 mph game-ending strike the other night is why Gary is the best.
