Nathan Church is quickly becoming baseball's most exciting thief—and he's not stealing bases.

The St. Louis Cardinals rookie left fielder pulled off another jaw-dropping home run robbery Wednesday night, this time saving a 5-4 victory over the Pittsburgh Pirates. With two outs in the bottom of the ninth, Church leaped at the left-field wall to snatch what would have been a walk-off, two-run homer off the bat of Nick Gonzales.

It's becoming a signature move for the 25-year-old. Just four days earlier, Church took a potential tying home run away from Seattle's Mitch Garver in the sixth inning. And on Opening Day, he made a highlight-reel catch at the top of the wall against Tampa Bay's Ryan Vilade—another would-be game-tying blast.

The Pirates' Gonzales crushed a drive 373 feet from home plate, clearing the 6-foot wall. According to MLB Statcast, it would have been a homer in 27 of 30 major league ballparks—but not PNC Park, Baltimore's Camden Yards, or Texas' Globe Life Field.

Cardinals reliever Riley O'Brien, who earned his eighth save thanks to Church's heroics, could only stare in disbelief, arms raised, as Church jogged casually away from the wall with the ball in his glove.

A 11th-round draft pick by St. Louis in 2022, Church built a reputation as an elite defender in the minors. Now he's showcasing that glove on the biggest stage—and heating up at the plate, too. He's hitting .281 with four homers over his last eight games, including his first career two-homer performance against Seattle.

Whether he's at the plate or patrolling left field, Nathan Church is proving he can change a game in an instant.
