This diving catch to save a toppling baby is the best grab of the year

Elite awareness!

James Dator has been covering a wide range of sports for SB Nation for over a decade, with a special focus on the NFL.

Sure, there are amazing catches in football every week, and baseball constantly gives us incredible diving grabs in the outfield — but the stakes aren’t as high as this top-heavy baby hurtling toward the ground.

Serious props to big sis here for recognizing what was happening immediately. That baby started teetering and she was already mid-dive to prevent a head crack. Elite awareness and athletic skills here. YouTube commenters agree.

Little kids have this effect on people. You can be the least athletic person in the world, but the second a tiny child is in peril you become Bo Jackson. It’s like those stories of people lifting cars off their trapped children, except this one is on video.
