Cody Bellinger made a spectacular game-winning catch in the ninth inning to secure a 4-3 victory for the Yankees against the Royals. With a tying runner on second base, Bellinger laid out and made a diving catch off MJ Melendez's hit, which impressed his teammates and fans alike. Aaron Judge praised Bellinger's athleticism, emphasizing the significance of his play during a critical moment. This remarkable catch not only showcased Bellingerâs skill but also marked Fernando Cruz's first career save, contributing to an exciting game for the Yankees.
As the possible game-tying hit flew through the air, Aaron Boone yelled "Come on, Belly!" In the top of the ninth inning with the tying runner on second base, the Royals' MJ Melendez roped the ball into right field. And despite some stumbling, Cody Bellinger laid out, right arm extended, to make the highlight-reel game-winning catch.
Definitely was anticipating the ball being hit with the matchup. I didn't know if it was going to be a ground ball or fly ball, but I was just anticipating the ball.
There is a reason he's got gold in his glove to be able to make that catch, especially in a big moment like that - game on the line with a runner on second base.
Great play, I mean he's such a good athlete. He's so good wherever you put him.
