Usually when you see a highlight of a catcher playing defense, it's a great throw to nab a runner stealing, or maybe holding onto the ball after a collision at the plate. Those don't happen much anymore, but historically, they're a popular catcher defense highlight.
Over the weekend Mason Katz, catcher for the Winnipeg Goldeyes of the independent American Association, turned in a new kind of catcher defense highlight: he caught a foul tip. Normally that's a routine play. There's nothing routine about how Katz did it, however.
