Not sure if this got posted. Pretty impressive but then again, it is Joe Mauer.

Really cool and really difficult, but it's not really accurate to say he wasn't looking, because I'm sure he saw the ball out of his peripheral vision as he was turning back to hand the other ball to the umpire. That being said, he makes it look so smooth, which is part of what makes it such a cool looking play.

I agree he seen it coming back from the wall. But it still his hard to actually catch it though.

Agreed. If you freeze-frame it he sees the ball bounce back when he's looking over to his right out of the corner of his eye. He's just makes it look so easy.
