It wasn’t just any ol’ lucky fan who caught left fielder Spencer Steer’s foul ball in the fourth inning of the Reds’ 7-3 loss to the Dodgers on Friday night at Dodger Stadium.
The catch was made by Steer’s fraternal twin brother, Trevor, who was seated in the loge section behind home plate with several members of their family.
On a 93 mph first pitch from James Paxton, Steer fouled it back, and the ball zoomed right to his brother.
“It was coming right back at me," Trevor Steer said. "I was like, ‘I’ve got to do something.’ It was pretty wild.”
Wearing a Reds cap backward and his brother’s former No. 12 jersey that he wore in 2022, Trevor Steer stood up and pointed to the last name on the back to the crowd seated around him.
The Dodger Stadium faithful responded with a round of boos.
“It’s pretty cool," Spencer Steer said. "It’s hard for him to get to games. I think it was the first game he’s seen all year and I hit a foul ball to him. Pretty crazy odds but a really cool story.”
