Diving catches are pretty cool. They happen a decent enough amount that they aren’t amazing to see or anything, but pretty cool regardless.
A minor leaguer made an incredible rolling catch and got hilariously dizzy
Unsteady as he goes.

(Oh who are we kidding? Diving catches are super cool to see whenever they happen and everyone needs to stop being so cynical all the time.)
Anyway, back to the topic at hand. Jaff Decker, center fielder for the Nashville Sounds and possessor of a hilarious first name, made a beautiful diving and rolling catch during their latest game.
After successfully making the out, he then popped up and attempted to get the ball to first base to complete a double play. Which would be more or less routine if Jaff’s balance weren’t completely shot due to his super cool catch.
Jaff here looks like a college student who just discovered Jell-O shots, or someone who just got done riding the Gravitron six times in a row. Yet somehow, he managed to get the throw off to first and nab the runner before (seemingly) collapsing in a heap on the grass.
Keep on keepin’ on, Jaff. Even when you can’t really walk in a straight line.
