Mariners All-Star Julio Rodriguez pulled off some incredible in-game trickeration on Tuesday.
In the top of the fourth inning at T-Mobile Park in Seattle, San Diego Padres star Fernando Tatis. Jr sent a deep drive out to center field. Rodriguez tracked the ball to the center-field wall and leaped for it before walking away as if he had failed to rob the home run.
But as Tatis Jr. was in the middle of a trot around the bases, Rodriguez smirked and opened up his glove, revealing that he did in fact make the catch.
