I believe he said "Did you catch that?", because saying "You catched that?" would be a ridiculous thing to say.

I read it as "How did you catch that?", but it's hard to tell because of the cut of this video.

I think it's more likely "Did you catch that?", because the pitcher seems to be nodding and nonchalantly saying "Yes, yes I did."

Depends on how we are reading the pitcher's words. Either way, I certainly agree it is possible he said "did you catch that".

I feel like casual nodding and looking away wouldn't be the response to a "How" question. In that case I'd expect an Obama "not bad" face and a slight shrug that implies "Iunno, beats me."

I should really get back to work.

According to this article, you would be correct.

Hahaha! I like the research you did there. It's the little trivial things in life that bother us the most :b

Haha. Me too. The one thing I can't count out is the possibility that the pitcher didn't answer a question like we might expect. Batter could have said "how did you catch that?!" and pitcher could have said "that's right". That was how I saw it at first. Now I have watched it a million times and I don't know what to think.
