Connor Wong Left Woozy After One of Best Catcher Plays You'll Ever See
The Boston Red Sox catcher made a miraculous play on a foul pop up and his body paid the price.
Just before his starting catcher role with the Boston Red Sox was to end, Connor Wong pushed himself to the limit. During the seventh inning against the Toronto Blue Jays, Wong showcased an incredible play that few catchers could replicate. He dashed and dove to catch a foul pop-up, soaring into the air and making the snag. However, the play came at a cost for Wong; his neck twisted awkwardly upon impact with the Rogers Center turf.
He was attended to by medical staff as he tried to regain his composure. Wong's athleticism was on full display, but his bat had not been at an MLB level for nearly two full seasons. In response to his dedication, social media praised his effort. Tyler Milliken of the Section 10 Podcast called it "an undisputed top five play in baseball this year." Connor Wong put everything on the line for this play.
