MLB Fans Lose Their Minds After Jurickson Profar's Catch of the Year Candidate originally appeared on Athlon Sports.

The 2025 Major League Baseball season has produced multiple Catch of the Year candidates. From home run robbing leaps over outfield walls, to barehanded stabs in the infield, MLB fans are always quick to appreciate these incredible efforts.

Saturday afternoon's game between the Atlanta braves and the Miami Marlins added another mind-blowing candidate for Catch of the Year.

Jurickson Profar, the former top-prospect in MLB, has turned into a journeyman, playing for five different teams over his 12-year playing career. While he wasn't able to put together a complete offensive season until 2024, he always been a solid versatile defender, playing five different positions throughout his career.

Jurickson Profar's Catch of the Year Blows MLB Fans' Minds

In the top of the fourth inning, Agustin Ramirez, drove a ball to deep left field off Braves pitcher, Hurston Waldrep. Profar tracked the ball, and reached way beyond the left field wall to pull this one back for one of the greatest catches of the year.

MLB fans rushed to social media to post their reactions, most of which have lost their minds over the incredible play.

"Almost like he has lingering super powers," one user posted.

“Catch of the year” and it’s literally the best catch I ever seen," another user posted.

The Braves also took to social media, posting still shots of the unbelievable catch.

"This is somehow better than Clarke catch," another fan said.

"Profar makes the spectacular look routine and the routine look impossible!" another fan said.

"INSANE ROBBERY WOWWWW," another MLB fan posted.

Profar has faced a lot of scrutiny this season, after being suspended for 80 games by MLB for the use of a banned substance. Profar has played in just 36 games this season, contributing six home runs and three stolen bases while hitting .231.

Profar's play was incredible, and will undoubtedly grace SportsCenter's Top-10 on Saturday, but the Braves still entered Saturday 19 games under .500, sitting in fourth place in the NL East.

This game also included some history, as Jen Pawol became the first female to umpire a regular-season MLB game. She is the first-base umpire for Saturday's split doubleheader between the Braves and Marlins.
