Video: Tampa Bay Rays outfielder Steven Souza hilariously missed catch against Minnesota Twins

  • 27/05/2017

Tampa Bay Rays player Steven Souza made quite the fielding error during his sides match against the Minnesota Twins on Friday (local time).

During the seventh innings, Twins batter Kenny Vargas hit a ball to right-centre field and Souza attempted to catch it but fell horribly short - nine-metres short to be exact.

The outfielder said post game he could not see the ball, so he just dived and hoped for the best.

"Vargas hit the ball and it went into the lights immediately and I couldn’t find it," said Souza.

"So I basically hit the deck and landed 30 feet away from it."

The 28-year old managed to see the funny side and ultimately had the last laugh as he hit a home-run in the eighth innings to help the Rays win 5-2.
