It's funny to see the reactions of the hitters! Some of them are like "ain't no way you just did that" and some are like "I can't even be mad, that was impressive"
I know lol. Half the hitters are just smiling after they see the catch
well those are the only 2 reactions you could have ..
So true lol
It's probably easier have the "I can't be mad" reaction when you're down 9-1 like at 8:40.
What I'd like to see is the pitcher's reaction throughout the whole thing. We usually get the "ah shoot, so much for that" look, but never how it changes after the catch is made.
Gary Matthew Jr. will always be tops @ 7:49. Sun bearing down, back to the ball, twisting grab, 180. Difficulty level is off the charts
Exactly. Still the best, IMHO. I'm very surprised that they had Pillar's Blue Jays catch shown after... since GM Jr's had a higher degree of difficulty.
Totally agree. He had his back completely facing the plate, and he had to take his eye off the ball at the end, effectively making a blind catch.
It was so good it actually made the next 3 look kind of average
It would be the best catch jumping off the wall. Mike Trout did not need the wall. As a matter of fact, the wall made it difficult for Trout to keep the ball in the glove.
the timing couldnt be any more perfect, absolute skill
7:49 "looking for a single instead he gets ROBBERY" some of the funniest calls are the unintentional ones
What kills me is the police officer at 7:08 😂
I mean, they are probably fans just as much as everyone else there. lol
@@JaredGoofball Oh wow, I thought they were just apathetic robots… good to know lol
@@John_C7 you may be joking. But some people do believe that
@@JaredGoofballno they don't. They just believe they're bad people. And a lot of them are
@@ccjl9160 a lot of them still numbers less than 2%.
8:41 incredible sportsmanship. He got robbed and applauded the man who did it.
I think he probably didn't really care too much since they were up 9-1 in the 9th.
you still would love to have a hr, for your average and for personal accomplishment so I think you're wrong@@BenSmith56789
Incredibly cringe comment. Plzzzzz like my comment 🥴
1:57 Perfect crowd. No f***ing idiot trying to reach in for the ball
exactly
😂😂😂 the police officers reaction in the Boston bullpen.
That's a cop who is as much a fan in that stadium as anyone else. Gotta love that.
@@UltimaKeyMaster He might have had a bet down!
The first Pillar catch is a lot more insane than you think. His body was not in a good position to catch it, as the ball was heading straight for him at the waist, he had to adjust his glove, and still had to catch the ball with his glove "overhand." It's a really uncomfortable way to catch it and often leads to a drop, but he had enough power to squeeze it at the end of the glvoe as well
Glad they had Griffey in there, but Jay Buhner's catch at Fenway needed to be in those clips too. He actually did go over the wall in right field to make the catch.
I miss not being able to watch baseball. Got rid of cable in 2012 when I could no longer afford it. Don't get regular TV where I live either. This was great to watch. Thank you. ❤
just pirate it?
Yeah, same here. I live vicariously through game highlights now.
I literally just find some stream online for every game. Haven't had cable in the last 5 years, haven't missed a game because of it
IPTV exists, and it's cheap ($10 to $15 per month). Just don't pay for more than a month at a time because services tend to come and go.
7:27 everyone cheering while his teammate is making sure he doesn’t fall and hurt himself #respect
no way the catch to save mark burhle's perfect game isn't on this video
MLB left the DeWayne Wise catch off?
I know it's the wrong sport, but...
C'MON MAN!
To quote the announcer of said catch...
"YOU GOTTA BE BLEEPING ME!"
Trouts amazing, as an angels fan I feel bad for trout because our franchise has been wasting his talent
Trout's made better catches.
@@guppybill yeah, that's what I'm saying. Trout is too good to be on the Angels
Trout has been in his shadow since 2021 when Ohtani became a "true two-way player", but I believe that a "healthy Trout" is the only baseball player who can compete with Ohtani.
@@KanetsuguNaoe1112 Are you forgetting a healthy Aaron Judge and a healthy Acuña Jr.?
Some guys just aren’t winners and Trout may be the best example in all of sports ever. It used to be Dan Marino. Now it’s Trout. Dudes a loser. Some guys don’t know how to get it done and just accumulate stats. Losers lose. Some of it’s luck but some guys just don’t know how to win
No Endy Chavez catch is crazy
How is Gary Matthew's Jr's catch not number 1 when you consider both the difficulty of the play and the fact the real robbery was AFTER the play when he stole $50 million from the Angels for 0.0 net bWAR in 3 years?
Home run robberies but the announcers get more excited each time*
Endy Chavez, Game 7, 2006 NLCS. How that's not here is criminal.
Also criminal are Molina and Wainwright for killing my hopes and dreams but that's another video...
Came to the comments to look for this lol
Mookies catch was my favorite as a long time Red Sox fan.
That Gary Matthew’s jr catch will always live in my head rent free
I love how everything on CZcams is "insane". Lot better than the old days when all we had to watch was sane stuff
No one ever acknowledges the damage to the wall lol
Stevie Wilkerson’s robbery remains forever underrated
Why isn't the Endy Chavez catch from Game 7 of the 2006 NLCS on here?
That catch might be the greatest playoff of the last 30 years.
Bellingers catch is my favorite, hes my favorite and he’s making a comeback
what abt Austin Jackson's catch vs boston in 2017 where he flipped over the wall?
Yes, August 1, 2017 Austin Jackson leaps against the center-field wall and flips upside down, landing in the Red Sox bullpen and robbing Hanley Ramirez's homer IS MISSING from this video.
That entire game was probably the best game of that entire season. Lead changes, acrobatic plays, and and a walk-off homer to go from losing to winning
You can’t do a video of Best catches in Baseball without showing Griffey Jr and Trout’s amazing catches!! But there were so many more! Hunter taking the HR away from Bonds was Awesome!!! Bonds reaction was just as good!!! Man, Ya Gotta Love The Game Of Baseball ⚾️
9:00
Mike tauchmans walk off robbery against the cardinals not being on here is insane
I don’t understand why they always disrespect the cubs
El más épico
Manny Machado and Adam Jones compañero 😅😅😅😅😅boltimore clásico mundial
My guy, I keep seeing you everywhere. I ain’t even a Chicago fan bruh. Saw you saying something on the Bulls then Bears and finally Cubs.
@@flareon6472😂😂😂
i agree with the editors here : making a well timed jump to catch a homer is much harder than climbing the wall and just wait for the ball
No Endy Chavez? C'mon.
The amazing thing about Aaron Judge’s robbing Ohtani’s hr is that Judge blasted a mammoth hr in the bottom half of the same inning. Big guy was just showing him how it’s done
7:30 that cop reaction is gold
Endy Chavez in the 2006 NLCS should’ve been included on this list. Still a great video, but Chavez not only robbed a potential Scott Rolen home run but he did it full speed, slammed against the wall, then threw it into the infield to the second baseman who threw it to first for an inning-ending double play.
U can't have a highlight reel for home run robberies without Jim Edmonds.
It's pretty poetic to go from Aaron Judge doing it to Ohtani to having it done right back to him.
I was at the game where Mookie made that catch. An amazing way to top off a great shutout win! Papi had 3 RBIs, pitching only gave up 2 hits, the catch, it was all just incredible
0:44 Granted I don't watch basebal much anymore but in all the years I did, mostly 80's and 90's I have NEVER witnessed a pitch like that in my life. Does that particular pitch have a name and was that a softball pitch?
Endy Chavez Game 7 2006 NLCS should be here.
No endy Chavez???? SERIOUSLY??????
0:;45 WOW! I haven't seen a sidearm that wild since Quizenberry(sp?).
Jake Fraley’s HR robbery and the awareness to get the double play needs to be in this. Saved the game too
I'm kinda surprised my clips aren't on here. Ain't none of y'all seen me with baby mario and baby luigi in mario baseball
Once again Otis Nixon is robbed of due recognition on this list. He must know how the Pirates felt back in 92 when he robbed them.
Man, these guys are some athletes.
These guys deserve trampolines around the field for more dramatic catches
Damn, Judge robs a homerun then gets robbed lol
These are all gems, but that catch by Edmonds is a honey.
where endy?
You know it’s gonna be a good video when the title says the clips get increasingly more insane when the second clip is of a stolen home run with outs at the bottom of the 9th.
the AL east king first where he belongs 😌✊🏼
That's not Rafael devers
7:34 even the police officer got hyped
I find the lack of Otis Nixon's 1992 catch in this compilation very disturbing.
Gary Matthews Jr was the greatest catch of all time
Bradley's catch was ridiculous. Ain't no way an away team center fielder is making that play. He knows that corner
The Jim Edmonds catch is the toughest considering the angle he had to take.
I'm glad that Bellinger is playing for the Cubs after getting traded from the dodgers
missing mike tauchmann's game winning robbery from last year
Jim Edmonds is crazy because that ball was so close to the ground.
i’m getting flashbacks to the burleson one against the cubs…
I love these, but Bo Jackson (though he didn't go over the top) is still my all time favorite outfield catch ever. Between him and Griffey Jr no one did it better IMO
Mike Tauchman had the most interesting Giants career. In just 64 games, Tauchman had two incredible game-saving catches, and slammed two dynamic game-winning home runs (One with an 0-2 count, if I recall). But unfortunately he didn't do much else at the plate in the orange and black, to the tune of a 56 OPS+ (.178/.286/.283)
Aaron just robbered that homer from othani like he just robbered the mvp award last year (2022)
I don't recall a single left fielder making one of these plays.
Torii Hunter was probably the first baseball player that I knew the name of when I was a kid (him or Joe Mauer), and I was a massive fan. Broke my heart when he went to the Angels- I didn't know that players could be traded or sign with other teams, so it was a bit of a rude awakening.
Feel like missing a lot of plays on this list. Take the L for missing Endy Chavez.
Both Trouts and Davis’ from 2012 were both so good
Very dope video but where is the Brandon Nimmo catch against the Dodgers with Justin Turner and deGrom on the hill?
He's a Met. You'll also notice Endy's catch is somehow not on this list. Imagine having an NBA best playoff game-winners and having no Jordan shots. They can't have just forgotten. Chavez is a Met, Nimmo is a Met, so you won't see @MLB mention them ever.
7:30 El policia celebra el out!!!
This just shows, without a doubt, baseball is the greatest sport ever !!!!!!@
Reupload this with Nimmos catch @MLB
What a time to be alive great catches
Mookie's grab against Davis: The quip about Mookie staying in the ballpark "this time" is a reference to the Jose Abreu homer when Mookie dropped the ball as he flipped into the bullpen
Kevin Kiermaier's grab in Baltimore: Pretty much the same spot where Trout robbed Hardy; even had the same sponsor on the outfield wall where the catch was made
Gary Matthews Jr: Lamb looking for the single, instead he's got... *_ROBBERY!!!_*
2002 All-Star Game: If Torii hadn't made that grab, the 11-inning tie due to lack of remaining players wouldn't have happened
It’s insane the Endy Chavez catch isn’t in here.
I'm sorry but where is Orioles' legend Stevie Wilkerson's robbery of Jackie Bradley Jr where he swung his leg to brace himself as he fell?
I think 3:00 was the most impressive, hanging on the wall like that, these dudes are like ninjas
You missed Pillar’s catch in left field against Rajai (to me more impressive than the one against Castellanos) and Tauchman’s against Burleson…
I don’t think he had to climb the wall for the one they showed lol it looked short
3-Kiermairer, 2-Edmonds, and 1-Matthews are the 3 best as far as I’m concerned. Honorable mention to Pillar because he always seems to rob a HR at least twice a year.
i checked the time stamp and was only 4 minutes in, i could have not predicted how much crazier it could have gotten
You gotta respect the wall jump
Once again shout out to Cosh report for the idea ‼️‼️
3:27 that ball was NOT going over lmao
Yeah. Both of Pillar's catches in this video were questionable whether they were going over the wall at all.
Yall missed a Pillar catch in RF and Kiermeiers first game in Toronto
Blue Jays Kevins are just built different
@@ChardeeMacDennis96 100%
I seen Jackie Bradley Jr play summer ball in the Cape Cod Baseball League
1a. GMj
1b. Edmonds
2. Pillar (second one...tho the first is way up there given last second adjustment).
3. Trout and Keirmeier. Very much the same. Extreme high pointing after long run and max full extension.
Where's Austin Jackson diving into the same bullpen that Mookie Betts almost fell into?
Nimmo's robbery got robbed
no endy either.
@alecbormia4523 that's exactly what I said.
That's the best catch I personally have ever seen in my life
@@theman13451 those are prob the top two for me.
Home run king conquered Home run king
Two Kevin Pillar catches on this list and neither one was his best. Look up his robbery of Tim Beckham on April 15, 2015 at Rogers Centre. That one was insane considering he had to climb a 10-foot wall to make it.
the 2nd was the best cause if he didnt the game would be over
Alex Gordon robbing Alexi Ramirez should've been on here
Remember that Red Sox game from 2006 where that guy in the stands reached down and caught the ball that made the Yankees win and everyone in Boston hated that guy? Oh wait I’m thinking of Zack and Cody nevermind
I remember that year’s NLCS Game 7 where Endy Chavez of the Mets was running full speed, robbed Scott Rolen of a home run, then threw it to the infield to turn it into a double play. That catch should’ve been included in this compilation
Judge,because he is tall,he can😊
No Dwayne Wise? He made the best catch ever to save a perfect game in the ninth inning. We literally have a shrine for that catch, but the White Sox are forgotten again.
5:36 looks like he hit that a mile
5:02 the dude in the black hoodie is amazing
A lot of great catches here, bailing out a lot of pitching mistakes.
what it feels like to go to college
Prime Pillar was a freaking marvel.
No Endy Chavez in 2006?? Pathetic!
absolutely insane! ... better than hockey highlights... better than basketball highlights... spectaular!
Some of these weren't even home runs, they were going to hit the wall for extra bases if they weren't caught.
