Brandon Nimmo just made baseball’s catch of the year, no doubt!
On Wednesday, the New York Mets were hosting the Los Angeles Dodgers in a battle of two of the NL’s top teams. With the Mets leading 2-1 at the top of the seventh, Justin Turner stepped up to bat against Jacob deGrom looking to knock home the tying run.
And Turner nearly did it, if not for Nimmo’s phenomenal catch deep in center field. In nearly the deepest part of the field, Nimmo was able to make a running leap of a grab on this blast from Turner to rob a sure-fire home run and keep the Mets ahead in the game.
Seriously, this is a catch you have to see.

Wow! And look at deGrom too, who was absolutely delighted by Nimmo’s catch that kept the Mets in the lead. Just an incredible individual effort from Nimmo on this play.
