Pettit later told reporters it was as if the ball came to his hand in slow motion. Fans around him in the stands applauded as he held the ball up in the air. And social media users praised the impressive catch, with one tweeting, “Dad power at Dodger Stadium is insane,” and another suggesting it should make the top 10 plays of the week.
