This cameraman showed off his reflexes with an insane catch at a high school showcase
The players on the field aren't the only ones making defensive highlights nowadays -- we've seen our fair share of impressive cameraman catches in recent years.
Our latest entry in this category comes from this past weekend's Super 60, a pre-Draft showcase for the best high school players in the country. Super 60 takes place indoors, at a large athletic facility just outside Chicago, so the setup for batting practice is a little more cramped than it would normally be. Now, watch what happened when Sean Guilbe, a shortstop prospect from Pennsylvania, stepped in the box to take some swings.

On his second swing, Guilbe popped one straight up, and the ball caromed off either the roof or a net above and came down in a hurry -- only to be snagged with cat-like reflexes by the cameraman, just before it could hit the woman sitting right next to him.
...but that was clearly fake. No fabrication here. Just a downright impressive display of athletic ability, topped off with a nonchalant roll of the ball back toward the plate. No big deal.
