Evan Longoria Makes An Insane Bare-Handed Grab - But There's A Catch

Evan Longoria is giving an interview to a reporter when a foul ball flies his way.  Because his Spider Sense tingles when a ball is in play, Longoria snatches it out of the air bare-handed.  

In my title, I used 'grab' and then 'catch' but catch, in the second instance of course, means a gimmick or trick, so I was being clever.  


So what is the catch? It's completely fake, as you can see when it is slowed down, but this is one of the things that makes CGI fun when it's clever.   My favorite part is when he says, after the miracle stab, "Guys, keep it on the field."

Now if only they can CGI him jumping over a car and preventing a home run.

Last year he hijacked a boat and jumped out of a helicopter to retrieve his baseball cap.  Oh, and met a girl.   That guy can do anything.
