Florida Gators star Wyatt Langford’s all-round efforts put the opposition on the back foot
On Tuesday, during a college-level game between the Florida Gators and the FSU, Wyatt Langford of the Gators single-handedly saved a home run and dismissed a batter on consecutive pitches.
At first, the Gators catcher jumped at the boundary ropes to deny a home run, and on the very next ball, Langford took a sliding catch to end the innings. Commentators and spectators were awestruck by Lanford’s efforts for his team.
Well, such performances are not a surprise anymore, because even the college-level baseball games have upped their level this season. While the regular MLB season is yet to begin, such games have proved to be of saving grace for baseball fans, who longed for some entertainment in the lockout-driven season.

The video is currently making rounds on social media, and given the difficulty of the catch taken, it might also win the “Catch of the Year” in 2022. However, the season is far from finished, and hopefully, we’ll get to see more of such performances in 2022.
