Jeff McNeil had a priceless reaction to Guillermo Heredia’s incredible wall-scaling catch

Braves right fielder Travis Demeritte was a late scratch on Wednesday afternoon due to fatigue from playing 18 innings the previous day against the Mets. So, in a last-minute decision, Guillermo Heredia was inserted into the lineup.

Yeah, that move paid off.

Heredia made an early entry to the Catch of the Year race with a remarkable, wall-scaling grab that robbed the Mets’ Jeff McNeil of extra bases in the second inning. So much had to go right for Heredia there after he mistimed his jump a bit to recover and make the grab. He did so while seemingly reaching back for the ball.

And another look:

But as good as the catch was, the reaction from McNeil might have been even better. He was genuinely confused how Heredia — his former teammate — came up with the ball.

He appeared to shout, “WHAT?!”

Baseball fans also appreciated that reaction.
