    An improbable, dare I say impossible, catch by Ian Happ

    I don't know how Ian Happ made this catch, but I must admit, it was a hell of a catch.

    Happ starts in, realizes his mistake and starts retreating towards the fence. He then leaps, but the ball bounces off the edge of his glove, and then somehow, Happ reaches behind him, about ankle high and catches the ball.

    This is by far the most fascinating play I've seen defensively in 2022. And to my knowledge, until '22, a fielder didn't have the ability to catch a deflected ball in air for an out.

    So damn amazing!

    Very Nice!!

    I had a similar thing happen. I must say after my initial problems and issues with this game. Over that past month or so I have really started to fall in love with this game again. This game being The Show in general. I am not all the way there yet. Still playing '20, but not quite as much as I used to.

    Thanks for sharing.

        I've seen these a little too much to be honest but still cool that its possible.

          It was the first time I've seen it in over 300+ played games.
