Home Run Robberies but the catches get INCREASINGLY more insane! 

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"

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

What kills me is the police officer at 7:08 😂

7:49 "looking for a single instead he gets ROBBERY" some of the funniest calls are the unintentional ones

8:41 incredible sportsmanship. He got robbed and applauded the man who did it.

😂😂😂 the police officers reaction in the Boston bullpen.

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.

no way the catch to save mark burhle's perfect game isn't on this video

Trouts amazing, as an angels fan I feel bad for trout because our franchise has been wasting his talent

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. ❤

7:27 everyone cheering while his teammate is making sure he doesn’t fall and hurt himself #respect

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*

Mookies catch was my favorite as a long time Red Sox fan.

1:57 Perfect crowd. No f***ing idiot trying to reach in for the ball

No Endy Chavez? C'mon.

I love how everything on RU-vid is "insane". Lot better than the old days when all we had to watch was sane stuff

That Gary Matthew’s jr catch will always live in my head rent free

Mike tauchmans walk off robbery against the cardinals not being on here is insane I don’t understand why they always disrespect the cubs

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?

No one ever acknowledges the damage to the wall lol

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.

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...

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

Endy Chavez Game 7 2006 NLCS should be here.

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 ⚾️

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.

0:;45 WOW! I haven't seen a sidearm that wild since Quizenberry(sp?).

Stevie Wilkerson’s robbery remains forever underrated

No endy Chavez???? SERIOUSLY??????

7:30 that cop reaction is gold

It's pretty poetic to go from Aaron Judge doing it to Ohtani to having it done right back to him.

The Jim Edmonds catch is the toughest considering the angle he had to take.

U can't have a highlight reel for home run robberies without Jim Edmonds.

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

Jake Fraley’s HR robbery and the awareness to get the double play needs to be in this. Saved the game too

Man, these guys are some athletes.

I don't recall a single left fielder making one of these plays.

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.

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.

I find the lack of Otis Nixon's 1992 catch in this compilation very disturbing.

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)

Gary Matthews Jr was the greatest catch of all time

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?

i’m getting flashbacks to the burleson one against the cubs…

missing mike tauchmann's game winning robbery from last year

7:30 El policia celebra el out!!!

7:34 even the police officer got hyped

This just shows, without a doubt, baseball is the greatest sport ever !!!!!!@

These are all gems, but that catch by Edmonds is a honey.

These guys deserve trampolines around the field for more dramatic catches

Damn, Judge robs a homerun then gets robbed lol

Reupload this with Nimmos catch @MLB

the AL east king first where he belongs 😌✊🏼

What a time to be alive great catches

I'm glad that Bellinger is playing for the Cubs after getting traded from the dodgers

Bradley's catch was ridiculous. Ain't no way an away team center fielder is making that play. He knows that corner

Both Trouts and Davis’ from 2012 were both so good

Jim Edmonds is crazy because that ball was so close to the ground.

Very dope video but where is the Brandon Nimmo catch against the Dodgers with Justin Turner and deGrom on the hill?

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 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

Aaron just robbered that homer from othani like he just robbered the mvp award last year (2022)

You gotta respect the wall jump

I seen Jackie Bradley Jr play summer ball in the Cape Cod Baseball League

the 2nd was the best cause if he didnt the game would be over

I think 3:00 was the most impressive, hanging on the wall like that, these dudes are like ninjas

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 shout out to Cosh report for the idea ‼️‼️

Yall missed a Pillar catch in RF and Kiermeiers first game in Toronto

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

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.

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.

Judge,because he is tall,he can😊

5:36 looks like he hit that a mile

Feel like missing a lot of plays on this list. Take the L for missing Endy Chavez.

9:34 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.

Home run king conquered Home run king

i checked the time stamp and was only 4 minutes in, i could have not predicted how much crazier it could have gotten

absolutely insane! ... better than hockey highlights... better than basketball highlights... spectaular!

Nimmo's robbery got robbed

A lot of great catches here, bailing out a lot of pitching mistakes.

Some of the fans were mad can’t blame them

All fielders in Long On and Long Off smiling in corner🫠🫠

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.

what it feels like to go to college

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.

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’m not even a baseball fan but I feel the pain

Where's Austin Jackson diving into the same bullpen that Mookie Betts almost fell into?

Prime Pillar was a freaking marvel.

5:02 the dude in the black hoodie is amazing

As a padres fan that tatis robbery haunts me till this day

Alex Gordon robbing Alexi Ramirez should've been on here

Imagine making this list without Otis Nixon

This is the American version of the Aussie rules speccy

3:27 that ball was NOT going over lmao
