Just because he caught it doesn't mean he had time to get out of the way. If the runner had his hands in front of him and a rocket shot came his way, it could take less time to put his hands up and catch it than to move his body out of the way. I am sure he was just using a self preservation move, not trying to catch the ball. Our instincts tell us to use our hands to protect ourselves. Dave
