"Have absolutely no idea how Byron Buxton caught this..."-@Talkin' Baseball

What a catch by Buxton! To be able to see the ball when another player is running by and the fact that it was up next to the wall is extraordinary!

This might be the best catch of the year so far.

Buxton is a former Platinum Glove winner, and it is really no surprise to see a play like this. Buxton is arguably the best defensive outfielder in baseball.

It's amazing that the two outfielders did not collide with one another.

Overall, this was such a great play by the Twins superstar. Buxton's catch here shows how special of a player he truly is.
