This University of Evansville baseball player made a catch so impressive that it would make MLB players blush.

Over the past week, or so, MLB players have been all over Sportscenter with amazing catches and diving players, basically taking over the top plays of the week. Mookie Betts has made some amazing plays, Nolan Arenado has added a few and now college baseball player Josh Jyawook has joined the party.

Who is this Josh Jyawook, you ask? Just watch what he did to rob Indiana‘s Craig Dedelow of a home run on Wednesday night.

"HIGHWAY ROBBERY IN BLOOMINGTON, IN! @UEAthletics Baseball erases a run from @HoosierBaseball . Snag of the year? http://t.co/GIo4CEFS1b— BTN Student U (@BTNStudentU) April 15, 2015"

That had to be one of the most impressive catches of the year — and of the past few years, for that matter. Evansville’s outfielder had no regard for his body on the play, slamming into and over the wall to rob a home run in a tie ballgame.

After the game, he seemed pretty excited about the play. I mean, who wouldn’t be excited that they made a play that will probably be on Sportscenter for the rest of the year, keeping up with the likes of Betts and Arenado.

Jyawook has to be living in a dream right now as he will be the most popular kid on campus for the next couple of months.

Class act, too, saying how he was going to stay humble and only brag to his mother.

Cool name, even better catch.
