Randy Arozarena’s stone cold reaction after an amazing WBC catch became an instant meme

Now this is one way to celebrate a game-changing catch!

On Monday, the World Baseball Classic semifinal was well underway between Mexico and Japan. Mexico held a 3-0 lead after Luis Urías hit a three-run home run in the fourth inning, but Japan was still getting chances.

In the bottom of the fifth, Kazuma Okamoto skied a deep ball out to left field that looked to be a sure-fire home run to crack things open for Japan. Randy Arozarena had other ideas, however, as he jumped up to snag the ball before it could land on the other side of the fence.

Arozarena’s celebration of the game-changing moment? A stone-cold reaction befitting anything but robbing a home run at the World Baseball Classic.

And here’s another angle of that catch, just for fun.

Even more hilarious was Arozarena during Mexico’s pitching change right after, as the outfielder was signing autographs mere moments after his incredible catch.

As expected, Arozarena’s stone-cold reaction became an instant meme on Twitter.
