Arizona Diamondbacks centerfielder Alek Thomas delivered a web gem of epic proportions in the ninth inning of Tuesday’s win over the Texas Rangers.
Thomas, a 23-year-old whose heroic catches have caught the eye of plenty of fans across the baseball world this season, may have outdone himself with this one. This time, it was a diving grab that required near full extension on a blast from Marcus Semien into the right-center gap. According to the Diamondbacks’ broadcast, Thomas covered 106 feet in just over five seconds to track down the ball.
Here’s a look at the incredible catch.
