Randy Arozarena delivered yet another huge play for Mexico at the World Baseball Classic, and he sure knew how to celebrate afterwards.
Arozarena’s Mexico squad was leading Japan 3-0 in the bottom of the 5th inning of their semifinal game at loanDepot Park in Miami on Monday night.
Japan’s No. 6 hitter Kazuma Okamoto was leading off the bottom of the fifth and sent a 1-0 pitch from Patrick Sandoval deep to left. Arozarena drifted back to the fence and jumped up to rob the home run with a catch.
After making the catch, Arozarena just stared straight ahead for several seconds without moving.
RANDY ROBS IT!!! MY GOODNESS 🤯😳

Arozarena has been Mexico’s big hitter in the World Baseball Classic and has also come up with some huge plays in the field.
Not only did he rob a home run against Japan, but he also had a huge catch in front of the wall in the quarterfinals against Puerto Rico.

Arozarena also ended a 2-out threat by Japan in the fifth with a catch on the warning track with the bases loaded. He’s proven to be clutch at the plate and in the field.
