Watch: Braves' Peterson leaps into netting for impressive grab
SI MLB / Twiter
Jace Peterson probably won't spend much more time at first base for the Atlanta Braves, who hours ago acquired Matt Adams to replace injured star Freddie Freeman, but the 27-year-old utility man definitely went out with a bang Saturday at SunTrust Park.
In the top of the sixth inning against the Washington Nationals, Peterson made a superb catch on a Matt Wieters pop-up, ranging into foul territory between home plate and the Braves' dugout and leaping into the protective netting to snag the ball (and take a load off for a second).
