PHOENIX — The Arizona Diamondbacks completed a mini sweep of the Texas Rangers with a thrilling 6-3 win Tuesday night. But the talk of the internet is the incredible catch made by outfielder Alek Thomas.
During the top of the ninth inning, Rangers second baseman Marcus Semien hit a deep drive to right center field. Thomas sprinted to the spot a dove at the perfect moment to make the spectacular grab.
Fellow outfielder Corbin Carroll quickly ran to Thomas to congratulate him with a pat and a smile. Fans watching the broadcast also caught Lourdes Gurriel Jr. with his hands over his head and mouth wide open from the dugout.
"CATCH OF THE YEAR," the D-backs posted on X (Formerly Twitter). Here's video of the catch if you missed it.
Arizona continues their push for a Wildcard spot with a big series against the Cincinnati Reds this weekend.
