Sure, the ability to catch in baseball is pretty key to any kind of success, but nobody expects you to be able to catch a bat.
Regardless, shortstop Luis Guillorme demonstrated such unique abilities when Adeiny Hechavarria of the Miami Marlins took a swing at a ball, and inadvertently hurled his bat towards the Mets dugout.
Everybody runs for cover – and who can blame them – except for one man.

Yup, that’s 22-year-old Guillorme demonstrating his potential with a one-handed baseball bat catch – that’s out, right?
It’s fair to say the public were impressed with his skills, and his chill.
@MLB didn't faze him at all. Lol.

It may have only been a spring training fixture, but we think we’ve already seen the catch of the season.
