Hill came close to the warning track, jumped and fully expanded to catch the catch and deprive the mets by doing more damage.
“It’s one of the best catches you’ll ever see,” TV company Kyle Sielaff said.
Hill’s catch stunned taylor.
“It was sick, bro. Unreal,” Mets Outfielder told MLB.com. “Did not know from bats, but after a few steps I saw no one there at all. I was like ‘oh, yes!’ Then he super -meated that thing.

However, the damage from Mets’ scoring attack was already done. Miami went into the top of the sixth inning down four races, but got three back. New York was able to push three more over the record in the frame and eventually won the game 10-5.
Hill did his part on the record. He was 1-for-4 with a two-run home drive. He said the wind was a big problem in Outfield during the game and called it an “interesting day.”
