There aren’t many plays more dramatic than a home run robbery in the ninth inning of playoff game—except in the case of Astros outfielder Kyle Tucker.
In the ninth inning of Sunday’s ALCS Game 6 against the Rangers, Texas outfielder Travis Jankowski hit a long fly ball to right that Tucker tracked to the wall. Tucker timed his leap perfectly and jumped high in the air with his arm fully extended to bring the ball back over the fence.
It was an amazing grab, made even more impressive by the fact that he had to jostle with the fans in the front row to make it. One guy even stuck his hand into Tucker’s glove, but the outfielder was able to win the tug of war and make the out.
