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
@@dfp_01 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...
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.
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
@@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
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.
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.
Dude with the ball is literally pointing at the grass and didn't throw to the third baseman because the runner dived onto the grass and should've been automatically out. What a ridiculous call
Wrong, dirt is to help you run, it's not the basepath. Basepath is 3 feet to the side determined by when a tag is attempted. Because the tag was attempted near the grass, the new basepath can cut into the grass. Edit: look up a highschool game where a kid took a lead off first into the outfield. Because no tag is attempted he can go wherever he pleases. Once a tag is attempted he THEN has a 3 foot wide line to make it to second. Yes, the rule is the same in MLB.
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.
Could someone please explain me what exactly happened at 6:20, step by step if possible ? I'm not really familiar with Baseball and any explanation would be very much welcome. Thank you.
I'm not too familiar either, but according to Google, this is what's happening: *Context:* The way baseball works (in VERY simple terms) is that a player (let's call him Player 1) from Team A is at home base and has to bat (aka hit the ball far into the field) in 3 tries. If he successfully hits it, the players from Team B in the outfield have to catch the ball and throw it to the 1st baseman (aka the player from Team B that guards first base). If the 1st baseman catches the ball and touches the base before Player 1 gets to 1st base, then Player 1 is out. If Player 1 gets to first base before the 1st baseman catches the ball or touches the base, then he is safe. If there are other players on the bases, they can risk getting out and run to the next base if Player 1 hits the ball. Usually, they can only run to the next base, like from base 2 to 3, because there is a player behind them who is running from base 1 to 2. *What's happening at **6:20**:* In the clip from the video, a player (let's call him Player 2) from Team A (black uniforms) is on base 2 when Player 1 hits the ball. He takes the risk of getting an out and decides to run to base 3, but since there is no one behind him (running from base 1 to 2), he can either go back to where he was initially (base 2) or go to the next base (base 3). In this case, players on Team B (white uniforms) can tag him while holding the ball and it will count as an out, meaning that they don't have to touch a base to get Player 2 out like usually. Player 2 manages to dodge them and makes it to base 3. You might be wondering why the 3rd baseman didn't just tag him to get Player 2 out. Well, he doesn't have the ball so he can't get him out. That's why you see the players on Team B (in white uniforms) throwing the balls to each other when they try to tag him. Like I said before, I'm not too familiar with baseball so if any baseball fans out there have any corrections/additions to what I said, it will be very much appreciated :)
I play baseball, so here is basically what happened. The batter hit the ball and the ball bounced. Due to the ball bouncing the batter (running to 1st base) and the runner (running to 3rd base) are able to attempt to run to the next base. The pitcher caught the ball, and is trying to tag out the runner. They throw it to different positions, such as shortstop but they still can’t tag him out. The runner makes it to 3rd base and the 3rd base man can’t tag him out because he doesn’t have the ball. The runner and the batter are both safe. Once you make it to a base, you can’t be tagged out unless you leave the base. That’s what safe means. The 1st and 3rd bases have a runner on them.
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.
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
6:25 When the pitcher catches the grounder and starts going for the runner why doesn't he just reach down and tag him? he is like 3 feet away but he throws it to the guy at 2B to start the rundown. Is there something i'm not understanding? something happen off camera i didnt see with the runner at 1st? or just a poor judgement call by the pitcher to get rid of the ball?
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.
I'm a little sad there weren't any of Russel Wilson's awesome jukes and runs in this compilation. Dude was a genius of knowing exactly when the jig was up and it was time to go.
I better see Wes Welker's Superbowl 51 catch vs Atlanta, where he readjusted and grabbed it just before it hit the ground. Edit: Didn't see it but I did get the Tim Thomas save in the Stanley Cup Finals vs Vancouver I was hoping for. You can't get them all but Welker was a big one, at a big moment. And it does fit. Great video. Thanks.

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.

6:53 harrison was out of the baseline and it’s 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

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.

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
Crazy seeing pitchers react like that and instantly catch some of those. Just all instinct
At the Pittsburgh-Cincinnati MLB game, I once did the same thing when playing baseball.
i didnt relize that every hockey one timer was so special
God loves you and made you for a reason
I don't know if these are all "reflexes" but they are impressive.
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.
You guys have very different definitions for "reflexes" than I do I guess.

That Fleury save was amazing for LV!
“That was a turning point” I LOVE DAD JOKES 😂
I don't like baseball but those catches are by far the craziest clips in this whole thing.
Lol that dude at 6:30 ran a mile outside the baseline
Yeah he shoulda been out

Is there something i'm not understanding? something happen off camera i didnt see with the runner at 1st? or just a poor judgement call by the pitcher to get rid of the ball?
Can't take a chance on the pitcher getting hurt. They throw it to each other to tire the runner out and not get tired themselves by chasing him.
Pitcher catching opponents drives is one of the ultimate skills ....... It's like looking down the barrel of a loaded gun. XD
