San Francisco Giants' Jung Hoo Lee made an epic catch during his team's win over the Tampa Bay Rays.
The 26-year-old outfielder didn't even need his hands to catch the hit, which came during the fourth inning on Sunday, Aug. 17, at Oracle Park in San Francisco, Calif.
In a stunning moment, Lee caught the ball, hit by Rays' first baseman Yandy Diaz, with his knees.
Lee fell to the ground while making the catch, and the ball popped out of his glove, but the Giant was able to impressively keep the baseball between his knees before he was able to grab it with his hands again.

He gestured to the officials to show that the ball never hit the ground and remained in his possession even while he was falling.
Giants broadcaster Duane Kuiper was thrilled after the catch.
"I don't care what anybody says, that's the catch of the decade," Kuiper said during the game.
He added, "Not of the year, not of the day, not of the week, not of the homestand – the decade."

The Giants won the game 7-1, advancing to 60 wins on the season this far.
Lee's teammate Drew Gilbert described the catch as "pretty crazy" while speaking with reporters afterward, according to CNN.
"That was very impressive. That's a big play...Glad he's on our team," Gilbert, 24, added.
After the game, Lee spoke to reporters about his impressive catch.
"The wind was pretty heavy, and the ball was reaching out a lot, so I went for the slide," Lee said via an interpreter, according to CNN.
Lee reportedly said after he caught it, "I felt like it was going under my body starting from the chest."
