Watch: Astros' Pitcher Collin McHugh Dodges Line Drive With Move From 'The Matrix'

Astros pitcher Collin McHugh just blew everyone's minds with one move to avoid getting hit by a line drive.

During the second inning of Tuesday night's game in Oakland, McHugh delivered a four-seam fastball to Athletics first baseman Kendrys Morales. As the ball went sailing straight up the center of the diamond, McHugh had to lean back to dodge the ball before it bounced to second base. Morales grounded out into a double play and the inning continued like nothing happened.

But wait, did you catch McHugh's slick ability to lean back at just the right moment and avoid getting drilled by the ball?
