Watch: Nick Ahmed hit a double on a pitch that bounced

After the game, while talking with MLB.com's Steve Gilbert, Ahmed joked that he was looking to try out for a different sport thanks to his display of hand-eye coordination. 

"I've played a lot of baseball, I'm thinking about trying out for cricket next year."

When asked if he had ever hit a ball that bounced before Ahmed answered "Not even close, hopefully I'm not swinging at any balls that bounce again."

Cardinals pitcher Jordan Montgomery wasn't a fan of the outcome, "I mean, I can't throw a better curveball than that. It might have bounced in front of the plate, but that's how the whole night went."

While a unique achievement, it has been done plenty of times in MLB history. The most recognizable name on the list is Hall of Famer Vladimir Guerrero Sr., who has been able to turn a bad pitch into a base hit multiple times. 

Guerrero Sr. would chime in on Ahmed pulling it off Tuesday night in St. Louis.

The Diamondbacks have gotten off to an 11-7 start, good for first place and a two-game lead on the Los Angeles Dodgers in the National League West.

With a mixture of timely pitching and an offense filled with young talent, the Diamondbacks are looking to continue exceeding expectations as the 2023 season carries on.

A two-time NL Gold Glove winner, Ahmed hopes to have a little more magic left in his bat as he has also provided unexpected production in 2023. Hitting .316 and with six RBI, he is already one away from his RBI total in his injury-shortened 2022 season.
