White Sox designated hitter Andrew Vaughn was up at bat... hit a deep shot toward Jankowski. The outfielder was able to track the ball down and make a leaping catch at the fence to bring the ball back into the park.
Jankowski said pitch Andrew Chafin gave him a big hug for making the catch and offered to buy him a steak dinner. "I said, 'Naw, man. Your friendship and the hug's good enough...'"
Texas wrapped up two victories against the White Sox on Wednesday, dropping the worst team in MLB to 31-103 on the year. The Rangers won 3-1 in Tuesday's game and 4-3 in Wednesday's game.
Jankowski described his incredible catch, stating, "It was high. You know the hang time was perfect. If it was a foot further, probably out of my reach. So that to me, it's like everything aligns."
