It was the catch heard round Brooklyn!

The daughter of former Yankee manager, Joe Torre, made an amazing catch this morning when a baby who fell from a storefront awning in Bay Ridge, authorities and witnesses said.

Cristina Torre, 44, was biking to work when she spotted the 1-year-old boy hanging from a the awning of a frozen yogurt shop on 3rd Avenue and 92nd Street around 10:30 a.m., a witness said.

As she was calling 911, the youngster fell and Torre made the play of her career and caught the infant in her mitts.

“She was at the right place at the right time,” one police source said.

The baby pushed the cardboard in the second floor window out and then crawled onto a fire escape before falling onto the awning, the source said.

“I’m still really shook from it,” said witness, Kristen Bramsen, 48. “I really think the baby would have been dead if it wasn’t for the woman.”

The parents of the child, who were fast asleep at the time of the accident, were taken into police custody at the scene. Neither has been charged.

“It took a long time for them to get to the parents. I looked over and the father was on the ground clutching his heart,” Bramsen said.

Police also removed three other children from the home, ages 2, 3 and 5, sources said.

The baby was taken to Lutheran Medical Center in stable condition.

Joe Torre told The Post on Wednesday at Yankee Stadium that his daughter’s heroic feat is as good as any of the four World Series rings he won with the Yankees.

“No question this ranks right up there with all that’s happened to me,” said Joe, now MLB’s executive vice president of baseball operations. “Your children, that’s your proudest moments and when they are responsible and caring and all that stuff it is a proud moment, especially in today’s world where we seem to glorify bad things. I am just so proud of her.’’

The ex-skipper says Cristina didn’t play a lot of sports growing up, but there was one thing that stood out about her athletic ability.

“She always had good hands,” Joe Torre said. … “I don’t know if they are mine or not.’’
