It’s signature Bobby Witt Jr. Remember his May 20 dive against the Giants when he hustled to his right to catch Patrick Bailey’s hit in the 6th inning? Well, we were lucky enough to experience another deep dive, rather deeper, just a little more than two weeks later. Did you catch the game? Bobby Witt Jr. dove into the air at his right and caught the Cardinals’ Ivan Herrera’s hit. While the Kansas City Royals won 7-5 against the St. Louis Cardinals, it’s the shortstop’s stupendous catch that stole the entire spotlight. Expectedly, fans couldn’t resist!Even though the St. Louis Cardinals dropped the second game of the doubleheader, Ivan Herrera shone with a two-run homer and went 3-for-7 with a walk. He played as a designated hitter for the game, and while batting against Cole Ragans of the Kansas City Royals, the ball was hit to the outfield. It all happened in a flash, and Bobby Witt Jr. was done with the catch, quite comfortably.But it was a spectacle to witness. FOX Sports posted the clip on their official X handle: “OH MY GOODNESS! What an incredible diving catch by Bobby Witt Jr! ” And the announcer made the moment even more enthralling and, of course, relatable, by comparing Bobby Witt Jr. to our favorite superhero! “Like Superman, flying through the sky and taking a base hit and an RBI away from Herrera.” Imagine Superman’s stance and now, check Witt Jr.’s diving catch!

Hes 100% flying— BasedMike (@KusamaMike) June 6, 2025It is hard to get over that spectacular catch. And well, he surely was a hundred percent flying after Ivan Herrera hit the ball towards him. It was a tough catch as he had to cover a portion of the field, but Bobby Witt Jr. made it look like a smooth slide.

Of course, we aren’t taking anything from Bobby Witt Jr. He has been doing great this season, and the way he has been taking catches, he is probably one of the best shortstops at the moment.Another comment from a fan shifted our focus from the shortstop’s heroics to the recent Superman movie. “The @Superman movie marketing is everywhere and amazing, @JamesGunn.” That’s an interesting take. But we cannot ignore the idea as well, right? The way he dived to his right, floating his body completely in the air, he looked no less than a superhero. And well, the small clip can, perhaps, be a killer marketing strategy for the movie as it’s set to release on July 11. Another fan was left amazed and still couldn’t believe what he saw. “How’d he even catch that?” Well, it is definitely a tough one, but yes, not to forget that Bobby Witt Jr. is a great athlete.
