Kevin Pillar Lays Out for Ridiculous Diving Catch

Blue Jays center fielder Kevin Pillar got horizontal like Superman for this outstanding diving catch.

Just get all the way outta here with this catch, Kevin Pillar. Pitching with an 8-4 lead over the Rays in Tampa last night, Mark Buehrle left a changeup off the plate to catcher Luke Maile and Maile put a swing on it for what looked to be a sure double. Oh, but then Kevin Pillar happened. He raced through the gap in right-center to track it down and then got completely horizontal for a few seconds to snare it in the web of his glove.

Everyone in the building appreciated Pillar's graceful soaring—his teammates gave him a standing ovation in the dugout—but it's always the pitcher who has the best reaction after a ridiculous play like this.
