Baseball fans share strategies for catching a ball at the 2024 MLB Home Run Derby

Antlers, Oklahoma-native Joseph Jordan wasn’t sure his knees would allow him scramble around the left field concourse at Globe Life Field in Arlington Monday.

The lifelong Atlanta Braves fan was hopeful to catch a ball from the team’s designated hitter Marcell Ozuna or Texas Rangers slugger Adolis Garcia.

He pointed to the Coca-Cola sign hanging off the upper deck above saying he could catch a ball if it hit off the facade.

While some fans tried to move around the stadium to catch a ball at Monday’s Home Run Derby, which was won by Los Angeles Dodger Teoscar Hernandez, others let the balls come to them.
