Guy Incredibly Catches A Baseball Bat Out The Air Before It Hits A Child In The Face

Someone caught this incredible photo from a baseball game over the weekend.

It was taken at a match between the Pittsburgh Pirates and the Atlanta Braves, and Huff Post picked up on it pretty sharpish.

It captures the split-second before a baseball bat hit an unsuspecting child in the face. Or at least it would have, if this real-life American hero hadn't have caught it.

Here's to the un-named aviator wearing American superhero. Marvel will be throwing a contract your way within the next six months.
