Billy McKinney aka Big Bill is having himself a series in San Diego. Not only does McKinney have two home runs, but he also has the catch of the year thus far for the Milwaukee Brewers. Corbin Burnes was tossing a gem, but he ran into some trouble in the fifth inning. Wil Myers hit a ball down the line in left, and McKinney found a way to make an unreal diving catch to save the inning keeping the shutout for Burnes. Corbin acknowledged him with his fists in the sky elated over the big play. If you went to bed early last night, here’s what you missed.

What a freaking play by McKinney. The degree of difficulty on that one is pretty hard. He is trying to chase a ball that dying quicker than a fish out of water. Plus the foul line is unforgiving there. If you time the dive wrong you can end up with a crinkled neck from the sidewall or the ball gets by and it’s Myers on third. This is a great catch.

McKinney continues to earn a name for himself with the Brewers faithful. It is another example of why you don’t give up on talent.
