Watch as this gutsy minor league baseball fan catches a long foul ball barehanded with his GoPro, which was attached to his head, filmed the whole thing firsthand.

Going to a baseball game comes with a few expectations. One, as a fan, you want to see a good game. Two, you always have to hope for nice weather so the game doesn’t get delayed or postponed. Lastly, everyone goes to a game hoping for a chance to catch a foul ball or home run into the stands.

There have been many scary fan accidents lately that have been quite sobering for those fans who sit close to the action on the first or third base line.

Baseballs aren’t the only things to go flying into the stands as a recent accident happened when a Boston Red Sox fan was hit by a splintered bat and remains in serious condition at a local hospital.

Scary things like that can always happen at baseball games, but for every scary altercation between fans and baseball equipment, there is a fantastic catch or nifty play made on a ball that makes SportsCenter‘s top 10 plays.

One minor league baseball fan who came to watch his Biloxi Shuckers take on the Mobile BayBears on Sunday night made one of the plays of the year.

The fan, Micah Graves, caught the fantastic play on his GoPro Hero 4 head mount. While it might look pretty ridiculous for a fan to be wearing a GoPro on his head throughout a baseball game, it produced one of the wildest first-hand sights of the baseball year.

Get this guy a minor league contract.
