Mum Makes Incredible One-Handed Catch At Baseball Game While Holding Her Baby

A mum at a baseball game made an incredible one-handed catch while holding her baby. Check it out:

Lexy Whitmore was at the San Diego Padres versus Chicago Cubs game last week with her three-month-old son Maverick when she managed to snatch the ball out of the air one-handed.

In the clip, a four-ball hit during the sixth inning flew up towards the upper deck, bounced off an aisle and ended up being caught by Lexy.

The shocked announcer could be heard to say: "Right-handed grab - baby in tow."

A clip of the catch was shared on the official San Diego Padres Twitter account, with baseball fans blown-away by the catch.

One wrote: "I have seen a lot of crazy catches from baseball fans and this one is one of the best!"

Another joked: "Sad when the Madres are playing better baseball than the Padres."

A third person wrote: "One of the most amazing clips I have seen that proves that mothers are freaking superheroes."

However, Lexy has downplayed her incredible catch, telling NBC San Diego she 'didn't think it was an amazing catch'. Well, the internet disagrees, mate.

She said: "So when the guy hit the foul ball, it came down.

"I saw it bounce, and it - honestly, it just kind of came right to me. I didn't think it was, like, this amazing catch and I didn't think it would go viral.

"But it, you know, came to me and there was no doubt in my mind that I wasn't gonna catch it."

The mum/potential superstar catcher said she has enjoyed her viral fame, and was quick to shut down any trolls who accused her of possibly endangering her baby.

"All I have to say is that us moms, we know where our kids are," she said.

"I knew where he was, and I know I wasn't putting him in any danger and, if anything, I was keeping him kind of out of danger by catching it."

She added: "It's been an interesting 15 minutes of fame. I've had people send me messages and, you know, 'Oh my God, way to represent all the moms out there.'

"A lot of that and a lot of positivity around being a multitasking mom."
