Let the debate begin. Who made the better catch in the Atlanta Braves' 3-0 win over the Philadelphia Phillies in Game 2 of the NLDS?
Was it Atlanta shortstop Dansby Swanson, who sprinted with his back to the infield to snare a popup in short left-center field off the bat of J.T.
Realmuto in the sixth inning? Or was it third baseman Austin Riley, who angled himself in foul territory, bouncing off the tarp to catch a Bryson Stott popup in the eighth? «I give him the credit just because running straight out, over the head is pretty tough,» Riley said after the game.
Swanson disagreed: «I'll say his was better. I didn't have to dodge a tarp. The guy, once again, a very under-appreciated defender, a lot more athletic than people give him credit for.
