The Arizona Diamondbacks fan who was ejected Monday for interfering with an apparent would-be San Francisco Giants home run has been banned for the rest of the season.

The Diamondbacks announced the ban in a statement Tuesday, citing “multiple offenses” committed by the fan.

“The particular fan has been involved in multiple offenses at Chase Field,” the statement reads. “Consequently we have terminated his Advantage Member account and he is prohibited from returning to Chase Field for the remainder of 2025.

“This fan will have the opportunity to return to Chase Field in 2026 so long as he meets certain terms and abides by our fan code of conduct.”

The Diamondbacks did not identify the fan. He identified himself in an interview with Arizona Sports 98.7 FM on Tuesday. We won’t publicize his name here, but he has, indeed, committed multiple offenses.

His latest was during Monday’s Diamondbacks-Giants game. With the Diamondbacks holding a 3-2 lead in the top of the eighth, Giants third baseman Christian Koss hit a deep fly ball to left-center field that appeared to be tracking over the wall for a game-tying solo home run.

Instead, said Diamondbacks fan dove across three other fans and on top of the outfield wall to snag the ball with his glove.

Diamondbacks outfielder Tim Tawa made a play on the ball at the same time. But the ball appeared to be out of his reach and headed over the outfield wall if not for the fan’s interference with the ball itself.

Umpires initially ruled the play an out for fan interference. Upon review after a Giants challenge, they determined that the fan didn’t make contact with Tawa and that Tawa couldn’t have caught the ball. That led to the ball being ruled a ground-rule double on the basis that the ball was not tracking to carry over the wall.

Instead of a game-tying solo home run or an out, umpires awarded Koss second base. He did not come around to score, and the Diamondbacks went on to a 4-2 win. The fan was ejected from the stadium.

It’s not clear exactly how many times this fan has interfered with baseball games from his outfield seat at Chase Field. Jomboy Media documented four instances in the past four seasons.

The fan himself told 98.7 FM on Tuesday that he has caught 24 home run balls in his life and that doing so is “one of my things.”

His thing for the rest of the season will be watching Diamondbacks games from home.
