After the game, Bartolo said:

"The important thing is we won the game and I was able to get the out," Colon said through an interpreter. "He got me on the side. It was not in the middle. And I have a big belly, so I can [handle] it."

Did his belly absorb it for the out?

Best part is the Rangers manager not giving a ****. Other best part is Harold Reynolds being like "he got his glove on it....he didn't get his glove on it." Other best part is Bartolo grabbing his belly. Real best part is that ball getting sucked in like Bartolo's gut is a dying star.

 

Everything about this play is beautiful.

Yes same as you can bare hand a line drive.

I guess they might say his uniform aided him which would not be a catch.  However, he could always just grab it from his belly and it would be right?  Since it didnt hit the ground.

Yep it would still be a catch because the ball never hit the ground. Just like if a ball is deflected off one player and caught by another, it's a catch.
