Green Slime Pot at a monk who uses deflect missles. Since the hit deals no damage, does he auto catch the pot?

@JeremyECrawford @mikemearls @ChrisPerkinsDnD @SageAdviceDnD a kobold throws a Green slime pot at a monk who uses deflect missles. Since the hit deals no damage, does he auto catch the pot? Or because there's no damage he can't catch it, as catching it would explode on impact? pic.twitter.com/h9PTj1sOHu

If the green slime pot hits the monk, the monk is covered with green slime.
