Mike Tauchman Lays Out Into Foul Net for Inning-Ending Catch vs. Padres

The 34-year-old right fielder’s all-out grab underscored his value as a steadying presence for a rebuilding White Sox club.

Overview

  • With two outs and runners on first and second in the sixth, Tauchman tracked Freddy Fermin’s foul fly and secured it while crashing into the protective netting to end the inning.
  • The veteran also turned a third-inning sliding catch into a double play on Fermin and added another diving grab, capping a multi-highlight night in right field.
  • San Diego won 7-3 in Chicago, dropping the White Sox to 58-97 and marking their seventh loss in eight games.
  • Coaches and teammates praised Tauchman’s effort and preparation, pointing to consistent defense despite the team’s already sealed elimination from postseason contention.
  • Chicago kept Tauchman through the deadline; he is under club control for another year and is batting .263/.357/.402 with nine homers, 40 RBI, 44 runs and 1.8 bWAR in 92 games.
