For those still wondering why 0:31 is an unbelievable play, here's why. 1. It's Bartolo Colon. 2. He's a pitcher. 3. It's his first career home run. 4. He went 19 years in the majors without hitting a home run.

I'd say Gary Mathews Jr. in Texas, Endy Chavez in the '06 NLCS, and Otis Nixon in '92 in Atlanta beat it. Trout's catches were pretty impressive though.
I remember a catch made by the Cubs' Reed Johnson where he laid out and went head first into the wall and still caught it. Best catch I've ever seen in my 40 years watching baseball. April 25, 2008 I think, against Washington.
I'd call it the most overrated. Why in the world is he running looking backwards (which cuts down speed greatly) for the ball and then diving forward? If he runs a better route it is a routine catch that no one remembers. I've seen many centerfielders make that catch without ever getting on a highlight reel. Edmonds was the epitome of a hotdog in the field. Andruw Jones made tough catches look easy. Edmonds made routine catches look spectacular.
@@whitedeion598 I'll respect your opinion, but I totally disagree. Maybe other CFs have made that catch. I, personally, have never seen another and would love to check one out if you know of a link or even just the CFs name. I don't follow the NL nearly as close as I follow AL baseball, so I may have missed one or two of the catches you mention. The reason he turns his head is to keep track of that ball. There is no other way to field it. Maybe a quicker OF would have gotten to it without needing to dive, but that doesn't take away from the excellence of Edmond's catch, in my opinion. If Edmonds didn't turn to watch the ball he most likely would have lost the ball completely. I'm not quite sure how he could have run a better route to the ball. The quickest path between two points is a straight line when on a flat plane.
@@anticipation2796 I've made a catch better than that, but it was more luck than anything. I didn't drift off to the side and have to slow down with my head tilted back. I turned around and sprinted to a spot. The ball came over my shoulder and I made the diving catch with my back to the infield. I'll never forget the batter slamming his helmet down and screaming "f ing deion" after seeing that I secured the catch through a somersault. Thanks for letting me relive my best defensive play ever. It was fun lol
@@alb639 we have a very definition of a straight route. He was drifting right initially and got slightly turned around, which caused the ball to go over his head instead of his shoulder. andruw jones made that play routinely. He was always squared up running after balls. He turned his back on balls all the time and managed to keep them over his shoulders. That's why all the defensive metrics had him as a much better defender than edmonds. He wasn't much faster. His instincts and route running were much better
I've been watching MLB since 1976 and defensively players are better. I still like the 70's better for nostalgic reasons, but players are better today. No doubt about it.
@@robertoponce Basketball was good before the players got to be the size of football players. There used to be finesse to the game, now it's all power. Also, the players now palm the ball. I today's players had to actually dribble legally, 1/2 of them couldn't play.
I don’t watch baseball but it seems from all the compilations I’ve seen that every just loves colon. I’ve seen him on a bunch of different teams and he seems like a cool dude
Baseball and music my two true loves. I can't go a week without watching a few games and I can't go a day without listening to my favorite bands like Delta Parole.
Nats had a rare triple play against San Francisco in 2017. The year before that, Steven Souza Jr. made a great catch for the last out preserving a no hitter for Jordan Zimmerman in the last game of the season. Many of the regulars didn't even play that day, making the no hitter even more impressive. These two plays should definitely be included in the next installment.
Your a great publisher of video's. No ad's, no pop-ups, no fluff. You "trim" the video so there's no wasted time. Every second of your video was worth watching. I know that takes a lot of time to edit down to just the "money shots" and I thank you for not wasting my time. I will be a subscriber for life. -Riggs from "D" Town, Michigan, USA
That catch he made with the Angels is one of the most overrated catches I've ever seen. If he runs a better route he catches the ball standing up. He was better than average defensively, but not really by that much. Just looked and his best 10 year defensive stretch saw him at 51 runs above average. As a comparison, Andruw Jones was 220 runs above average
Jones was horrible the last few years of his career. He hung on by a thread. He fell off the cliff very quick. He was the best CF in baseball for a 12 year stretch with the Braves. No one can argue that. He was great to watch.
I was at that Mariners at Angels game and saw Trout make that grab over the fence. I remember we were talking, saw the hit go deep, and all of us stood up, did you see that catch??? Wow!!! Always great to be there and see a play like that.
These clips are STUNNING, and I so very much appreciate their being compiled and posted online, but I do wish they were only slightly longer. To see the players and managers argue, to hear the full calls of the commentators...even to see a replay. These are very special moments, and given out of context - while still fun and beautiful - it would be nice to have a little bit of context, and to be swept in that particular moment for just a few seconds more. But I truly don't mean to complain. Just a suggestion. These videos are baseball bliss, and I feel lucky to have them here at my fingertips.
Cespedes had one that's not in this video that's the best outfield throw I ever saw. He bobbled the ball at first, picked it up and threw it 300 feet in the air, right on the catcher's belt buckle to nail the runner trying to score. Video here: th-cam.com/video/1P3br_geYFI/w-d-xo.html
Since youve obviously got enough suggestions for a part 2, allow me to add Shawn Marcum playing for THE Milwaukee Brewers in maybe 2012 where he takes a short hopper down the 3rd base line and makes an impossible throw to 1st to get the runner. Superhuman. Oh, I loved the video, keep em coming!
the dude should have retired after his first career home run at age 42 and would be remembered as one of the greatest ever. Not in skill obviously, but he just makes me so happy watching him play....or...well, he did when he was a Met
Every no hitter and perfect game has one of “those”plays. Im glad all yall mentioned em cuz i was watching the video waiting for those clips to come up haha
@@lsuboiii5726 It may have been, but the fact that he was juiced makes it more than just believable but expected and therefore unremarkable. nbelievable was Bob Beamon's long jump or Flutie's chunk into the end zone, not a walkin' 'roid smacking a ball.
Thanks for including Bart Colón in this great vid. I love that guy and miss him on my team. Should I assume by your Avi that you're a long-suffering Mets fan like me? 😜 Bartolo is an anomaly, proving that you can be over 40 years old and overweight and still do great things at the professional level. (I watch the vid of his San Diego homer all the time). This man just turned 45! 💗 P.S. Enciarte is an AMAZING outfielder, but since I’m a Mets fan, he continues to be the bane of my existence! 😂
Great plays, and video, but some of those warranted some slow motion replays. I know it would cut down the amount of material to be viewed, but the slow motion instant replays really make the videos more entertaining...IMO.
You don't get paid in Oakland. Also they wouldn't be cutting a player of Donaldson's caliber if he made that play or not. Trade bait. Which is what happened.
Oakland has one of the smallest budgets in the league, they have to let pretty much 99% of their good players walk or trade them once they lose arbitration control over them. While New York can pay 10 people 30 million a year, Oakland can't even do 20 million for one player. That is like 33% of their budget.
SE les olvido la atrapada que hizo Willie Mays en Polo Ground en la Serie Mundial de 1954 despues de una corrida barbara y de espalda al home plate. Y la otra que realizo Sandy Amoros en el Left Field sobre un batazo de Yogi Berra catcher de los Yankees y bateador zurdo. Dos que hicieron historia y no han sido mencionadas entre las mejores.
I tell ya, nothing drives me more nuts than seeing two or three “professional” ball players can’t figure out who has the best line on a ball and bump into each other.
Griffey is an all time great, but I don't think he has a case against Willie Mays. It's between him, Tris Speaker, Dimaggio, and Mantle for the #2 spot behind Mays.
Alec J. K I agree with you that Mays was the best center fielder to play the game, but I think I'd give #2 to Junior. Obviously I'm biased, being from Seattle, but if you go purely by the numbers, he has Mantle and DiMaggio beat, minus batting average. I will say that Mantle and DiMaggio do have the WS wins, though; something that eluded Junior. Makes for a good debate. Speaker is an interesting case, but I consider anyone who played before integration as not having faced the best possible competition. DiMaggio sort of falls in that category as well, but to his credit he did serve in WWII, so that took away from his numbers. I still give the nod to Junior, though. The pitchers threw a lot harder and had a lost nastier stuff in the steroid era.
Actually, Mantle's best years were quite a bit better than Mays's, although Mays had a longer career. The most important stat is OBP....Mick leads Willie .420 to .383...that's the big difference. Cobb was better than Speaker offensively, but Tris was a better fielder. He created force plays and double plays from CF by trapping or fake trapping balls, because he played so shallow. Mays, Mantle, Cobb, and Speaker are the best 4 all-around players according to people who study their impact on their times. Griff and Joe were not quite as good, although both were great fielders. Ken Jr was not as fast as other CFs, but he certainly used his speed very well.
For those still wondering why 0:31 is an unbelievable play, here's why.
1. It's Bartolo Colon.
2. He's a pitcher.
3. It's his first career home run.
4. He went 19 years in the majors without hitting a home run.

Not impressed. I could go 19 years in the MLB without a home run.

Me too. I know it wasn't baseball but when messier single handedly beat the devil's in 94 and Gary thorne said, "DO YOU BRLIEVE IT!" I got chills...
"And the game is over!"
That’s the best part
3:37 that throw by Hicks is definitely one of my favorites. It's a good angle to really see how quickly the ball covered that distance!

Nothing beats Trout scaling the wall for the catch like a damn super-hero.

Impressive but the Edmonds one... LOOOOONG run and scooped the ball from the other side. Of course, there is the Guillen throw (best ever).

Jim Edmonds was a STUD
He could flat out play. Both sides of the ball. No issues with him not giving 100 percent effort every ab or defensive play.
Garret Guillemette he was more than that. He was a freak of nature. Some of the most ridiculous catches I've ever seen!
Garret Guillemette I cant believe he didnt even make it to a second year of HOF eligibility. He should have been elected and enshrined in my opinion.

4:24 commentator: “MAKES A FELOMENAL CATCH”
Me: what... felomenal?
Phenomenal
Wow this is truly unbelievable one of the best plays that I've ever seen.
I am so happy we got Scooter Gennette from the Brewers. The Reds really needed him he has so much talent.
lol
Two Mike Cameron clips and not *ONE* Ken Griffey Jr clip? Blasphemy.
You could have a FULL video of The KID. Probably the greatest Centerfielder ever.
Griffey is an all time great, but I don't think he has a case against Willie Mays. It's between him, Tris Speaker, Dimaggio, and Mantle for the #2 spot behind Mays.
Alec J. K I agree with you that Mays was the best center fielder to play the game, but I think I'd give #2 to Junior. Obviously I'm biased, being from Seattle, but if you go purely by the numbers, he has Mantle and DiMaggio beat, minus batting average. I will say that Mantle and DiMaggio do have the WS wins, though; something that eluded Junior. Makes for a good debate.
Speaker is an interesting case, but I consider anyone who played before integration as not having faced the best possible competition. DiMaggio sort of falls in that category as well, but to his credit he did serve in WWII, so that took away from his numbers. I still give the nod to Junior, though. The pitchers threw a lot harder and had a lost nastier stuff in the steroid era.
Both Griffey's together, couldn't hold Mantle's jock.
Actually, Mantle's best years were quite a bit better than Mays's, although Mays had a longer career. The most important stat is OBP....Mick leads Willie .420 to .383...that's the big difference. Cobb was better than Speaker offensively, but Tris was a better fielder. He created force plays and double plays from CF by trapping or fake trapping balls, because he played so shallow. Mays, Mantle, Cobb, and Speaker are the best 4 all-around players according to people who study their impact on their times. Griff and Joe were not quite as good, although both were great fielders. Ken Jr was not as fast as other CFs, but he certainly used his speed very well.
How can you have Alcides evading the tag but neither of Josh Harrison's??
3:10 so slick
Clemente game saving throw in the world series needs to be in here.
Wise's catch for Buehrle's perfect game and Endy Chavez's in the postseason...other than that good vid
1:03 let that catch sink in.
Will Venable has some amazing center field catches, including one off the bat of Mike Trout.
