The one tonight was wild, not sure I've ever seen anyone go that far over the wall and bring it back.

Top 10 catch I've seen in my ~43 years of watching baseball.

He seriously could have broke his neck if he fell over the wall on the other side.
That was one of the most ridiculous catches I’ve ever seen - backhanded with enough torque to carry your momentum back on to the playing field and not over the other side flip-flopping and potential landing head first. Crazy Crazy crazy. Don’t ever do that at home kids! |

Absolutely insane. I don't know what other words can be used. It has to be one of the greatest catches ever.

He is definitely fun to watch. I hope he has a long career so we get to see many more highlights like these.

The ball slicing away from him at the end made the catch even more impressive.
You know it's a great catch when the pitcher isn't excited.... He can't believe what he just witnessed. |

And, probably a decent proximity to Trouty's high-flying grab a lifetime ago.

Every single sports fan needs to take three minutes out of your life to watch it and give it justice - it was definitely more graceful and felt higher up than Trout’s catch.

I wouldn't argue with anyone saying that is a Top 5 all-time catch. Pretty spectacular.

It's the best play of the year of the decade of a long time. What would have made it even greater is if he had slow rolled the catch. Just act like he just missed it. And then boom. The slow roll home run robbery is the best.

Almost the same exact spot where Mike Trout made his incredible home run robbery catch September 26th 2015. I was at the stadium for that catch that was the most amazing catch I've ever seen in person.
The difference with Trout's catch is that trout made it look so effortless. He just glided up and casually snagged it. It was a beautiful thing to see.

maybe it's just me, but I think Elly's superman catch is more impressive
