Mookie Betts’ spectacular diving catch to end Saturday’s game against the Padres was recognized as the Play of the Week on Monday.
Betts’ clutch grab came with two outs and the tying runs on base in the bottom of the ninth inning at Petco Park. Playing center field, Betts got a great jump on Tommy Pham’s line drive off Victor González and laid out to make the grab in right-center, sealing a 2-0 win for the Dodgers.
The play had a Catch Probability of just 10 percent per Statcast, making it a five-star catch.
Betts becomes the fourth player to win multiple Play of the Week Awards since it was introduced in 2019, joining Lorenzo Cain, Jonathan Davis and Victor Robles.
