Orioles fan makes incredible foul ball snag with his barehand

Legendary sportscaster Bob Costas tells OutKick's Dan Dakich on 'Don't @ Me' which former MLB star compares best with Willie Mays.

Two MLB teams in playoff position, the Baltimore Orioles and the Cleveland Guardians, were dueling at Camden Yards, but it was one fan in the stands who made the best play Monday night. 

In the top of the third inning, Guardians first baseman Josh Naylor drove a foul ball deep down the right field line off Cade Povich, and it was heading toward the upper decks when a fan was seen tracking it all the way.

What ensued was potentially the catch of the year by the fan holding a drink and his cell phone in his left hand, and a stroller right behind him.

The Orioles’ broadcast caught the moment the fan reached out quickly with his right hand, making sure to keep all his belongings in check, and snatch the ball before it could leave the park. 

The crowd roared as this fan, knowing exactly what he had done, relished the moment by taking his hat off and saluting the crowd.

Mancano reported that this ball was the first he had ever caught at "hundreds" of Orioles games.
