Air Bud has some new competition for most athletic dog.
In a video posted by the Tulsa Drillers, a minor baseball league team, a large German Shepherd ran out on the field to nab the ball during a game on Wednesday.
While the Northwest Arkansas Naturalwas practicing in the infield during Bark at the Park night, the dog races out on the field and grabs the ball.

With its leash in tow, the dog runs around the field with his new find before making its way to Northwest Arkansas Natural’s shortstop, Nicky Lopez.
The dog drops the ball at Lopez’s feet before he is rounded up by his owner, yet again.
A different angle of the event shows that when the players resume their action, the dog can’t help but try to get the ball again.

As the video made its ways around social media, the UMBC Athletics Twitter account posted that the dog should be allowed to play.
The tweet inspired the Drillers to draft a poll to see what people thought about letting the dog play in a future game.
70percent of almost 15,00 votes said ‘Yes’ while 30percent said ‘Only if he hits dingers.’
The Drillers, based in Tulsa, Oklahoma, are the Double-A affiliate of the Los Angeles Dodgers major-league team.
