Manny Machado irked MLB fans the wrong way after saying he wasn't "Johnny Hustle" during last season's World Series as a member of the Los Angeles Dodgers. Boy, is he changing that reputation with the San Diego Padres. During Wednesday's game against the Philadelphia Phillies, Machado robbed catcher J.T. Realmuto of a hit that looked destined for left field by making a beautiful diving catch.

That was a $300 million catch right there, as Machado flashed his defensive prowess by sprawling out and leaving the ground to reel in the hard-hit ball.

While the Padres eventually surrendered the lead, this catch kept the game knotted up at 5-5.
