Arkansas Travelers right fielder Zach Welz robbed Tulsa Drillers' Cody Bellinger of his 19th home run on Wednesday night, before taking a head-first plunge into the Tulsa bullpen.

"It’s probably one of the best, if not the best," Welz said of the catch, according to Ben Johnson of Tulsa World.

"I opened up to my right side, and the ball was actually tailing to my other side. I was focusing on that, and I could kind of see the fence in my peripheral vision. I just took a leap for it, caught the ball, hit the fence and flipped over. It worked out."
