Texas Rangers pitcher Nick Martinez made an absolutely incredible behind-the-back catch and threw somebody out at first in the blink of an eye Tuesday night.
Martinez pulled off the unbelievable double-play in the fifth inning against the Los Angeles Angels with this no-look catch off a line drive that was hit right at him.
Nick Martinez.
What. A. Catch.

Nobody on the field could believe what just happened: not Martinez, not the hitter Andrelton Simmons, not the Angels coach, nobody.

All that could be said is what we can read from Adrian Beltre’s lips.
