There was no better time for Washington Nationals outfielder Jacob Young to make his case for catch of the year than in one of the final days of the season. The Nationals were trying to keep a small lead over the New York Mets in the bottom of the fifth inning.
Mets batter Brett Baty sent a pitch deep into center field at Citi Field. Young tracked it from the start but as he got closer to the warning track, he appeared to have misjudged where the ball was going to be.
