one-handed catch
Spectacular fielding play
A one-handed catch is catching a ball with only one hand, considered more difficult and impressive than using two.
In baseball, football, and cricket, a spectacular one-handed catch often becomes a highlight: Did you see that one-handed catch in the end zone?
The term implies athleticism and flair.
