Looking at photos of a person diving for a ball, the player's non glove hand is bracing for the fall (instinct) not ready to help the glove as Dunn's hand is doing. Yet if you look at the willie may's basket catch (who would compare it to Andruw Jones
) you can see the glove would face you and your other hand would be helping the glove accept the ball.
I do believe, however, that the source picture has been tilted slightly, as was done with the
