Nationals’ Jacob Young makes incredible catch vs mets

There was no better time for Washington Nationals Outfielder Jacob Young to make his case a catch of the year than in one of the last days of the season.

Nationals tried to hold a small lead over the New York Mets at the bottom of the fifth lap. Mets Batter Brett Baty sent a pitch deep into the midfield of Citi Field. Young tracked it from the start, but as he got closer to the warning track, he seemed to have wrongly rated where the ball should be.

Young jumped and turned back towards the ball as he crashed into the wall. He jumped out of the fence and saw the ball pop in and out of his glove. He had that place to use his foot to prevent the ball from hitting the ground and concentration to end the catch.

Without muted the crowd and wowed his citizen teammates.

Washington won the game, 3-2. Young finished 1-for-3.

It was a Nasim Nunez home driving that propelled Washington to victory. Nunez’s third home driving of the year came out of Mets star Sean Manaea in the second round. It was a two-run shot.

New York got two races back thanks to a Francisco Lindor home drive and a Cedric Mullin’s RBI, but the damage was done.

Mitchell Parker closed the door to save and helped Jake Irvin end his gem.

Mets is in the middle of the playoff hunt. They fell to 80-76 with the loss and are tied to the final National League Wildcard Playoff place.
