The Phillies' Brandon Marsh astonishingly made an accidental catch despite losing track of the baseball

You never know what you’re going to see in a given baseball game. And for every fan who attended Sunday’s game between the Phillies and Mariners, they witnessed perhaps the luckiest catch we’ll ever see.

And that’s not hyperbole. Brandon Marsh probably couldn’t have replicated the catch again if he tried.

With the Phillies up a run in the seventh inning, Jorge Polanco drove a 3-1 pitch deep to the center-field wall. All Marsh knew from his read off the bat was that the ball was heading towards the fence. But staring into the sun, Marsh clearly had no idea where the ball actually was. He tried to signal that he lost the ball, but as he was doing that, the ball landed in his glove.

I mean, how?!

Marsh lost the ball — that was clear. And that flinch at the last moment seemed to be enough to secure the baseball in his glove. He was just as confused as fans were about how he made that catch. And it was a huge play with the Phillies trying to snap a six-game losing streak. The Phillies responded to that catch with a monster top of the eighth inning because of course — the baseball gods have spoken.

Fans also couldn’t believe Marsh made that catch.
