ATLANTA -- Jurickson Profar made perhaps the catch of the year for the Braves during the fourth inning of their 7-1 victory in Game 1 of Saturday’s doubleheader at Truist Park.
Profar robbed Marlins designated hitter Agustín Ramírez of a potential solo home run as he climbed the left-field wall and brought back what looked like a no-doubter on a day that umpire Jen Pawol was making history. The ball looked as though it was headed into Miami’s bullpen before Profar stuck his glove out at the last second to make the catch.
Atlanta starting pitcher Hurston Waldrep put his hands on his head in disbelief in reaction to the catch.
