The matchup between the Padres and the Mets was very exciting and, being two of the best teams in MLB, they did not disappoint with the series they are facing. It is not surprising to see high level plays during their games and in this case the one who excelled in a spectacular way was Fernando Tatis Jr., who with a great catch became the center of attention in social networks, where the video of the play was spread.
The key moment came when Mark Vientos hit a fly ball that everyone thought was going straight for a home run, but then Tatis appeared, who rose and made a superstar catch that earned him the applause of all baseball fans, regardless of which team they support.
