Is it a swag thing?
Stanfield is still the man but my goodness how easily avoidable that was..

I’m not sure how people blame it on not catching the ball with two hands unless the ball pops out of the glove…

I learned use two hands in c league baseball as a kid

Yeah because you needed help keeping the ball in your glove

Pretty sure using two hands was for when gloves were a lot stiffer and it was more difficult to close the glove around the ball.

Attention to detail? Second hand adds an extra level of mindfulness when receiving the ball into the glove.

Yea there’s nothing beneficial to having an extra arm doing nothing at all

Brown and Curiel are guilty as well.

He is coming off of a hand injury.

Catching with two hands so that the ball is less likely to pop out, and giving the fielder less time needed to transfer the ball from the glove to the throwing hand just ain’t cool.

Is c league the same as the SEC?

He simply got lazy and loss concentration. All there was to it.

It reminds me of the Arkansas left fielder in last year's CWS.

I never understood the point of using two hands to catch a fly ball. I guess if you have a poor fitting glove.

Yeah they don't even teach outfielders to catch with 2 hands past like 10u. Limits reach.
Brain fart is a brain fart. Lose focus and you will miss it with 4 hands.

Has there ever in the history of baseball been a dropped fly ball that was blamed on using two hands?
