Chillest Dad Ever Catches Baseball One-Handed While Holding Daughter

Put him in the outfield!

A super-chill dad kept his calm when a foul ball flew toward him and his young daughter at a Major League game on Thursday.

Instead of ducking for cover, Brian Kucharik caught the ball with ease -- while cradling little Emily to his chest and holding a tray of hot dogs in his other hand.

Footage of his perfect catch, during the Philadelphia Phillies's home clash against the Toronto Blue Jays at Citizens Bank Park, was posted online and is now going viral.

"I wasn't too worried," the seemingly ever-cool Kucharik told Newsweek afterwards. "I play outfield so I'm used to it. It was coming right to my glove hand, so I was pretty confident."

"I've been playing for about 30 years now. It looked like a normal fly ball from the outfield, I put my hand up -- I'm lefty -- so with my right hand, catching the ball was pretty easy,' he added to MLB.com.

The home side ended up losing 13-2 to Toronto visitors, prompting many fans to lightheartedly call for Kucharik to be called up to play.

Watch the incredible catch in the clip above.
