People are calling this the "catch of the year" and I have thoughts

Dude, you gotta see this catch from Astros outfielder Joey Loperfido.

 

Pretty impressive play, and people are already labeling this the "catch of the year."

Now, is this a great catch? Yes.

Is it the "catch of the year"? I'm not so sure about that.

The only reason we're talking about this as a "catch of the year" candidate is because he initially dropped the ball. If he'd caught it in the first place this wouldn't have even made it onto the internet.

I don't wanna knock the guy for making a magnificently athletic grab, but next time I see "catch of the year" trending on the internet, I better see a catch that was a catch from beginning to end!
