Manuel Margot may have just made the catch of the American League Championship Series.
The Tampa Bay Rays best fielder turned over the railing in nasty territory to end the second inning in grand fashion.
With the Houston Astros threatening to score with runners on third and second base, outfielder George Springer hit a long fly ball down the best field line that Margot was able to find..
He turned up hobbling, showing his glove to the umpire that he made the catch.
According to Statcast, Margot needed to run more than 100 feet to find the ball.
Margot is familiar with Petco Park, home of the San Diego Padres and website of the ALCS. He spent the previous four seasons with the Padres before he was traded to the Rays in the offseason..
And if his acrobatic catch wasnt enough, Margot got the Rays on the board early and turned a Jose Altuve mistake into a three-run home run in the very first inning..
The Rays lead the series 1-0..
