Jordan Zimmermann Gives Steven Souza Jr. Best Buy Gift Card for Saving No-Hitter

Kyle NewportNov 19, 2014

Pitchers often give their catchers gifts when they win an award or throw a no-hitter. Washington Nationals pitcher Jordan Zimmermann knew he also needed to get outfielder Steven Souza Jr. something for preserving his no-hitter in the final game of the 2014 regular season.

Zimmermann no-hit the Miami Marlins on Sept. 28. However, on the final pitch of the game, it looked like his no-no was going to be broken up by the Marlins' Christian Yelich. Luckily, Souza was there to save the day with an incredible catch.

Souza's catch finished off the first no-hitter in Nationals historyโ€”although the feat had been accomplished by the Montreal Expos.

Immediately after the game, Zimmermann said he'd buyย Souza "anything."

According to Bill Ladson of MLB.com, Souza received a Best Buy gift certificate from Zimmermann.

"I cannot disclose the amount," Souza said. "He gave a gift certificate to help me out for my house. It was very thoughtful."

It doesn't really matter what the amount is. It's a great gesture by the pitcher, rewarding a teammate for making a miraculous play in such a big moment.
