المصدر: Fox News | Source: Fox NewsGold Glove-winning outfielder Cody Bellinger made a compelling case for catch of the year in the New York Yankees' home opener against the Miami Marlins on Friday.

Bellinger sprinted 62 feet and tracked the ball well but misjudged it at the last moment, and it glanced off his wrist. Mid-jump, he swung his arm around and snagged the ball at around knee level.
Fans at Yankee Stadium erupted as Bellinger looked at his glove in disbelief, but the former Los Angeles Dodgers star wouldn’t call the acrobatic save his smartest play.

"I should have caught it the first time," he said, adding that he "squeezed" his glove too early.
"I definitely got lucky. Threw my glove out there."
The Yankees are off to their second 6-1 start in three seasons after Aaron Judge hit a go-ahead, two-run homer in the first inning to help the team secure an 8-2 win over the Marlins in the Bronx.
Miami entered the game at 5-1, matching its franchise-best start.
