Braves’ Profar Robs HR; Pawol Makes MLB History

Atlanta Braves outfielder Jurickson Profar made a spectacular leaping catch at Truist Park, robbing Miami Marlins' Agustín Ramírez of a home run during the first game of Saturday’s doubleheader on August 9, 2025. The catch preserved a 3-0 Braves lead, earning widespread praise and consideration as a leading 'catch of the year' candidate. Profar's defensive feat was particularly notable given his previous poor advanced metrics, but it demonstrated his athleticism and game-changing potential. The play energized both teammates and fans amid a difficult season for the Braves. Profar, recently returned from an 80-game suspension for violating MLB's PED policy, has been productive offensively, hitting .234 with six home runs over his last 35 games. The game also saw Jen Pawol make history as the first woman to umpire a full regular-season MLB game.
