Watch N.C. State centerfielder make amazing diving catch

Sometimes, a spectacular outfield catch comes on a play that should be routine, but was made unnecessarily difficult by the defensive player. Maybe the centerfielder misjudged the ball and started going back instead of coming in. Maybe he dove too early and could have made an out by running to the ball.

N.C. State's Brett Williams made the other kind of spectacular catch this week. It's the kind that needed a great reaction, top speed and an acrobatic dive, not to mention some additional flair at the end.

Watch as he reacts immediately to crack of the bat and engages in a full sprint to get to the potential gapper. The catch is impressive, of course, but it's the way Williams dives and gets back on his feet that's so impressive. The ease with which he does it makes the process look as routine as a pop-up slide.

Williams is a fifth-year senior for the Wolfpack. He was granted a medical redshirt last season after suffering a season-ending injury on opening day.
