I can tell you as an ex-pitcher who has caught 3 line drives hit directly at me, it is absolutely terrifying. These guys play it cool because being macho is part of the game, but I can guarantee their heart is about to pop out of their chests.
Well Wade, if you had actually had 3 comebackers, you'd know that the playing it cool is actually you still being in shock of almost becoming a vegetable
So many good plays, a lot of the goal tenders in particular. But any pitches that catches that line drive straight to the skull has a special place in my heart. Not just reflexes, but survival instincts. Lord knows theres been more than a few fallen to a ball to the dome.
You don't know what God is doing but someday you will know repent and turn away from your sin and follow Jesus Christ and put your faith in him and he loves you and so do I no matter what your going through God is right there with you no matter what your going through or did or do he loves you and so do I
Some other cool ones are Vasilevskiy's behind the back glove save, Ichiro literally climbing walls in the outfield, Fernandez catching that line drive, and the most recent Zegras to Milano alley oop goal.
@@dominicpancella3012 Yeah, but there were more slapshots than jukes here. I could understand if they included players evading tackles, some mid-air taps or more crazy saves, but instead; some slapshots and basketball buzzer-beaters. Also, these aren't even close to the best saves, slapshots or jukes in the last 5 years, let alone last couple of decades. Datsuk alone had a career of highlights like the ones shown. Even though the pitcher catching the return ball is *crazy* impressive; it could've been more of other sports, including the ones that are excluded for some reason...
I personally think the defensive plays are more impressive than the offensive ones because you have to either react or predict what the person is going to do, the offense have practice it a ton
What's crazy is this type of stuff is exactly why professional sports are a thing. You don't react the way a pitcher does or move the way a receiver does if you don't do these things day in and day out. Truly remarkable what we're capable of.
Is it just me or are all of the basketball clips a bit lackluster? I'm just not as impressed with what people think are crazy plays in basketball. I think the amount and variation of skill in football, baseball and hockey leave me feeling like most basketball players are simply really tall dudes with the ability to accurately throw a ball in a hoop they are naturally closer to. It reminds me of if a bunch of short dudes had to keep each other from dropping a golf ball into the cup, but without contact, ice and the edge of the green was the boundary for play.
@@tmorris9330 You should probably reacquaint yourself with units of measurement as I'm guessing you have the same issue with measuring in inches as well if you think he was "8 ft outside the (6 foot area) he has to work with
Kerryon Johnson had ALL the potential to be our next franchise RB and one of the best in the NFL, he was awesome. But he was plagued with injuries. I also believe he kind of got used up in college. He was Auburn's workhorse... loved to watch him play. Such a bummer
These are some amazing clips. What would've made them even better Is the name of the amazing player who made the highlight have his name in the corner of the screen. Great Great stuff.
You're NOT wrong. The man could stop AND start on a dime, & frequently made all-time moves just to get back to the line of scrimmage because his o-lines were usually so bad.
Back in my softball league days, my friend Bill was pitching. I got ahold of one and it was probably going to be a home run, but as it went right over Bill's head, he snagged it out of the air. Onlookers said it was like he pitched then immediately reached up and snatched it out of the air above his head in one continuous movement...lol. Unfortunately, it also had so much velocity behind it that the ball broke his ring finger inside the glove.
Great but nothing from over 20 or 30 years ago? Brook Robinson or Craig Nettles at third base or Ozzie Smith at shortstop; great running backs and escape artists like Sweetness and Emmitt Smith and Barry Sanders; magicians with the basketball like Bird, Magic, Dr. J, Dominique, of course MJ; great NHL goalies like Hextall and Roy. No soccer goalies or tennis players either, although their reflexes are incredible. But still, this is a great collection!
Add Dominek Hasek to the goalie list & you've got a list. That guy made some of the most athletically difficult saves ever. Never heard the phrase "standing his his head" used more than to describe just him... But Roy is my favorite goalie ever. Man had a lot of crazy in him, but all-timer for sure.
Its crazy how at 1 point or another the chiefs had Jamaal Charles dexter mccluster deanthony Thomas and tyreek hill I guess this was what the raiders was trying to do Pitchers catching comebacks will never get old
@@stuartsiglain3972 It's a comment on a CZcams video. If this was school writing assignment, it would be a different story. Regardless of my obvious run on sentences, you understood the point. Thank you though.
At least the Raiders had Darrius Haywood-Bey & Fabian Washington. And Bo Jackson in the 80s for a minute...that one was real. Up above were busts, just like DeAnthony Thomas & McClure were mostly busts.
When I was a pitcher the ball was hit right at me only once and I was fortunate enough to catch it, I had a friend who wasn't so lucky, all summer long my bro had a scar that matched the stitches of the ball lol looked like he had a half of a mustache
Martavis Bryant... I was so pissed about how his career went but seeing the Raiders bust with Henry Ruggs, Damon Arnette, Lynn Bowden, and Alex Leatherwood makes it a lot better.
The line drives that come back at the pitcher make me cringe. When I was younger maybe 13-14 and was playing ball with some friends I took a line drive to the right eye, I was busted wide open and broke my orbital. took 12 stiches to close the wound and felt like a life time for the pain and swelling to go away. now every time i see one heading for the pitcher, I remember exactly what it felt like and try not to watch it happen on tv.
while playing a pick up game one of the guys pitching took a softball off the forehead and pretty much instantly had a hematoma bigger than the softball. he tried to play it off when he collected himself but collapsed while walking off the field a minute later. that was pretty scary. fortunately (VERY), he suffered no fractures, no long lasting/permanent head trauma.
For the red vs pirates baseball play at first, I think the runner might actually have been out when he slides thereâs a second his hand is off the bag as he transfers to his foot and the first baseman has the ball on the bag. I just donât know if they count a slide into first as running through the bag or not

Just thinking this. This has long been known to be a commercial.

@Hutch McGehee huh?
â@@Akela_the_noble this dude sound like "what is a jpeg"
11:46 He says to watch the shody tackling but that ref made a clean hit if you ask me.
I knew someone else had to catch it...
2:38 .. please don't include edited Gillette Razor commercials as though they are legitimate baseball
I can tell you as an ex-pitcher who has caught 3 line drives hit directly at me, it is absolutely terrifying. These guys play it cool because being macho is part of the game, but I can guarantee their heart is about to pop out of their chests.
Yeah I nearly died in high school from a line drive. If I didn't catch it I would have been seriously hurt
Well Wade, if you had actually had 3 comebackers, you'd know that the playing it cool is actually you still being in shock of almost becoming a vegetable
@@jrod2510 Yes, but also macho. We had a kid on one of our teams that cried when the same thing happened to him and got laughed off the mound.
there is nothing macho about baseball; ive seen people eat and play that sport, cant even be a cheer leader and eat lmaooo
I don't see how "being macho is part of the game' when it's just 2 groups of men in tights running in a circle and trying to go home.
So many good plays, a lot of the goal tenders in particular. But any pitches that catches that line drive straight to the skull has a special place in my heart. Not just reflexes, but survival instincts. Lord knows theres been more than a few fallen to a ball to the dome.
2:49 the involuntary krusty the clown laugh!!!
LMAO I didn't notice until you mentioned it XD
Hahahahaha thatâs hilarious
omg that's so accurate lmao
Fuck Iâm dying đđđ
Thank you for including the instant replays
11:47 the ref casually trucking sb in the background lol.
I thought I'm only one đ
Hahahaha yes!!!!! Someone else saw him bulldoze on the sideline lmao
1:37 That save had the scorekeeper so flustered he accidentally gave 2 goals to Toronto đ
You don't know what God is doing but someday you will know repent and turn away from your sin and follow Jesus Christ and put your faith in him and he loves you and so do I no matter what your going through God is right there with you no matter what your going through or did or do he loves you and so do I
God bless
That's actually crazy, I never seen that before, 2 for 1 XD LOL
6:24 everyone trying to dodge their life problems be like
LMAO
I could never be a baseball pitcher. Iâd be out there with a hockey mask the whole game LMAO
HAHAHA i want to start practicing my pitching and become one
Despite how much it happens, it's still actually a very low percentage occurrence
We wear masks in slow pitch softball because of this.
No one gone talk about the player getting ran over by the ref on the side line at 11:48 lmfao
*run

You guys have very different definitions for "reflexes" than I do I guess.
Goals scored on a one-timer shot aren't "craziest reflex moments." That happens hundreds of times during a season.
I guess it's not really about when the ball goes in, but how the player(s) evading and tricked their opponents while handling the ball.
@@melodyghoulscream4394 Puck.
I get the feeling from these videos that the poster doesn't actually watch hockey.
@@sevenratsinaburlapsack You'd be right about that. Juke moves and highlight saves are cool though

3:00 That's wild. Simpson just out here killin it.
what about bobrovsky's save when the puck was bouncing and it bounced to the opposite side of the net and he caught it with his glove
âThat was a turning pointâ I LOVE DAD JOKES đ
19:40 I don't play football but this has to be some God Mode stuff
the chiefs punt return? nah, thats just shitty NYG spec team tackling
Crazy seeing pitchers react like that and instantly catch some of those. Just all instinct
Lol that dude at 6:30 ran a mile outside the baseline
Yeah he shoulda been out
The baseball pitchers are simply insane. How can you catch that? That must be top tier human reflexes.
The commentators are the best. Love when they get excited.
11:47 im dead that judge just full-on tackled that bystander đ
judge đđđ
Average sports fan: You can't break ankles in Hockey.
Pavel Datsuk at 2:48: Hold my Molson Canadian.
Legit no one says this. You can get your ankles broken by skating alone nevermind a person trying to deke the puck.
um, pretty sure pavel prefers smirnoff or some other version of russian vodka
Jackson with that spin at 5:33 is like a created player from a madden game. Dude a straight up cheat code itâs crazy đ„
fr bro straight threaded thruđȘĄ
I personally think the defensive plays are more impressive than the offensive ones because you have to either react or predict what the person is going to do, the offense have practice it a ton
really appreciate that there are nhl clips in here too. hockey always seems to be forgotten in sports comps
That Fleury save was amazing for LV!
2:48 I didn't know u can break ankles in hockey god DAYUM đ
i like how "sports history" equals recent seasons of nba, nhl, nfl and mlb
I mean, the N in all of those stands for National so....
the confidence boost these plays give during a game is crazy lol
5:35 "OH HE BROKE HIS ANKLES" đđđ€Łđ
Love the amount of hockey content in this one!
17:10 my guy wishes he was at the rink lol. Nice call, though!
The video, where Evan Longoria catches a baseball barehanded, is from a Gillette commercial
preach

Pitcher catching opponents drives is one of the ultimate skills ....... It's like looking down the barrel of a loaded gun. XD
Man athletes are are amazing human beings. Awesome physical abilities.
Definitely looks like Herrera burst out laughing when that ball was caught.
Where's Barry Sander you need him?that's reflex!Randy Moss' speed?Allen Iverson? Vince Carter leaps over the player for basket,as USA team?
âFreezing the goalieâ moments would be a good vid
Reflexes? Cool! Sport reflexes? I sleep. SNORE!
"In *sports* History", proceeds to show only hockey, baseball, football and for some reason, basketball. Where is the rest of the sports?
*THE MOVES OF MVP' players,, INCREDIBLE!!*
2:49 man got juked in hickey lol
At the Pittsburgh-Cincinnati MLB game, I once did the same thing when playing baseball.
First MLB pitch thrown, the nerves already, line drive to your FACE. I couldnt imagine the adrenaline catching that lol
i didnt relize that every hockey one timer was so special
The hockey ones are my favorite, goalie highlights in particular
I don't like baseball but those catches are by far the craziest clips in this whole thing.
2:12 that right foot pivot goes crazy
By his absence I'm assuming you're saving all your Barry Sanders clips for his own 25 minute video
11:45 ref DESTROYS the player on the sideline looool

Couldn't agree more, was looking for this comment. Basketball is honestly just a mid sport and pales in comparison to pretty much anything else
I don't like hockey, but I sure enjoyed these clips!
Good collection
6:53 harrison was out of the baseline and itâs not even close one of the worst calls in MLB history
he was sprawled in the grass which is clearly not the baseline
then you should probably research what the baseline is and come back to see how cold your take is
â@@jrod2510 LOL 3ft to left or right of tag line. 3ft=1yd. He went about 8ft over. Outside the baseline!
@@tmorris9330 You should probably reacquaint yourself with units of measurement as I'm guessing you have the same issue with measuring in inches as well if you think he was "8 ft outside the (6 foot area) he has to work with
It's okay buddy you just don't know how to admit when you are wrong. There are lots of people like you in the world.
There is not a more beautiful sound then the "PING" of ringing the pipes in hockey!
Oh yes there is, the THWACK of a baseball hammered by the sweet spot of a barrel
Kerryon Johnson had ALL the potential to be our next franchise RB and one of the best in the NFL, he was awesome. But he was plagued with injuries. I also believe he kind of got used up in college. He was Auburn's workhorse... loved to watch him play. Such a bummer

Now we need a similar compilation for world sports.
These are some amazing clips. What would've made them even better Is the name of the amazing player who made the highlight have his name in the corner of the screen. Great Great stuff.
How did I watch 25 minutes of this and not see one play of Barry Sanders, some of the best reflexes ever in the NFL.
@Hutch McGehee Sure I don't. Give me a logical explanation why I'm wrong then.
You're NOT wrong. The man could stop AND start on a dime, & frequently made all-time moves just to get back to the line of scrimmage because his o-lines were usually so bad.
If you watch hockey you know this whole list could just be goalies
You wanna talk about reflexive moments? Every baseball pitcher who caught a line drive belongs on the top of this list
Hmmmm I'm sure you all know that evan longoria clip was a commercial right??? Lol
The Evan Longoria bare handed catch was the greatest play in sports history by far!
Lester tossing the glove to first is a fave. Missed one: Jags' game winner against Houston 2010
0:45 "into the Hoghlight Reel, that one!"

That's the ice hockey version of the ankle breaker.

of the hundreds of shitty clip accounts like this one, i'd imagine they think it's as real and they think their English is good
11:46 Shout out to that Juggernaut refđȘđ
Why am I so entertained by watching the football guys launching themselves like they don't know gravity?
Man! --I can't wipe this silly smile off of my face.... I've never said "Wow!" so many times in my life as I just did in the last 24 minutes! đČ
I respect the hustle and trying to make that bag but half these clips aren't even reflexes.
Awesome collection! Happy New Year!
These pitchers seem so defeated after the reaction catches. Like âdamn that was cool but I just shaved 5 years off my life from that stressâ
That krusty the klown laugh from the commentator on Datsyuks deke always makes me laugh
