You can catch someone in the act, or catch them red handed.

And then there's "did you see that catch"? The outrageous, he'll never catch it, gravity defying, he must have had some help from God, how in the hell did the ball get in his mitt, I laugh in the face of physics catching acrobatics. It never gets old. With the exception of my husband, it's my favorite kind of catch.  *coughs* Jason Heyward.
