Overview

• On Monday in Atlanta, Young charged a 106.3 mph liner from Ha-Seong Kim, lost it briefly on the slide, then secured it barehanded for an out during an 11-5 loss to the Braves.
• The play carried a 90% hit probability before Young’s quick recovery turned it into his third straight standout defensive moment.
• A day earlier at Citi Field, he robbed Brett Baty by kicking a warning‑track ball back into the air after it popped out of his glove and completing the catch as Washington beat the Mets 3-2.
• He also took a home run away from Francisco Alvarez in the ninth inning of that Mets game, punctuating a two‑play showcase that drew national attention.
• Young, a 2024 Gold Glove finalist, credited instincts and childhood games for the reflexes on display and received MLB’s Play of the Week for the Sunday catch.
