I’ve heard of fielders making a behind-the-back toss to beat a runner to the bag, but you rarely ever see a behind-the-back, no-look catch …
… let alone from a pitcher!

That’s University of Albany pitcher, J.T. Genovese, making the highlight-reel catch. And how about good on him for remembering to toss the ball over to first to get the double play.
That’s some head’s up (albeit very lucky) baseball, right there.
