New Zealand Girl Reacts to MLB'S GREATEST CATCHES IN HISTORY | BASEBALL

[@12hairyjohn]

Look up Willie Mays' catch in the 1954 World Series; it's often considered the greatest catch in MLB history.

[@larrywt656]

I was gonna suggest that one as well. Still amazes me every time I see it.

[@itdano]

I was disappointed it wasn't included in this video. You can't call a video "MLBs Best Catches In History" and not include Willie Mays.

[@whatthe8898]

[@hermunkulus]

1:53 Nailed it. That's exactly what it's for. They do it every Mother's Day. That's one of the the things I love about baseball. People write it off as being "boring," but there are so many great little things about it that people ignore.

[@hermunkulus]

​@Triple 4 I know that. I'm just pointing out that there's more to the sport than it being a slow paced game (which is actually good considering the fact it makes talking about the game easier if you're there in person) with just hitting and throwing.

[@susanmaggiora4800]

@Cal Leary Mother's Day is in May. The NFL doesn't play in May. A pink ball in October would be kinda cool, but I think there are regulations in the rules about the balls color/dimensions/inflation/etc. being consistent throughout the season.

[@ialsoyoutube4431]

the guy who made that over the wall catch at 6:20 is now one of the Coaches of the same team he played for. He got to play with his brother for a little on that team. Sandy Almoar Jr the one who made the catch Roberto Alomar is his brother. They were elite.

I just got into watching Miss Coulton's videos the last few weeks ( it was the "Brawl in Hockeytown video that caught my eye). And although it's too bad she isn't coming to America now, I just have to say, Miss Coulton's passion and love for all things sports, is so awesome !! She shows more passion for sports, than a lot of guys I know. Even though her fiance is moving to NZ with her, I hope she continues to make these videos, I really enjoy them.

Yeah. Hate the Yankees, but I know exactly what catch you mean. Such an awesome catch. And, on edit, I felt the need to say that Derek Jeter was the real deal. No 'roids, no bs, just a great ball player and by all accounts a great guy. This Yankees hater has no problem with that guy. Well, except he played for the Yankees haha!

[@jondixon1474]

try watching these MLB | Reactions in milliseconds MLB | Superman Plays The reaction one is one of my favorites. It's truly amazing how quick these guys can process and make a decision.

[@kchastain3]

The origins of the game were parks and fields and even today there’s certain freedom in designing the dimensions of the field of play or “ballpark” and so in keeping with tradition, if a player can catch the ball it’s considered an out. Even if sliding into the dugout or crashing over a wall into the seats.

[@jacksonherr911]

@ 4:46 A's Josh Donaldson Goes into The Tarp To Catch Pop Up

[@dcaslick]

There is out of bounds when it comes to catches in baseball. For instance on that sliding catch where you mentioned you weren’t sure if there was out of bounds the player caught the ball while sliding into the dugout, but if he hadn’t caught the ball before he went into the dugout it wouldn’t have been an out. A catch has to be made with the player in bounds. The player can go out of bounds after making the catch and the out will stand, but the catch must occur with the player at least partially still in the field of play. A player can reach over the fence to make a catch as well, but like I said they must still be partially in the field of play when they make the catch.

[@sanandaallsgood2393]

There are foul lines (the white lines out toward the outfields from home plate) however the ball can still be caught.

[@BootlessDave]

There is technically an out of bounds, if it goes to left or right of the base line its considered a "foul" however a catch can still be made on a foul ball resulting in a strike and the batter is out.

[@chivalryalive]

Courtney, love the reactions! Keep up the good work. :-) -- You mention, toward the end of this video, how excited the sports announcers become... If I'm not mistaken -- Don't the Japanese baseball / and other sports announcers become very - VERY - excited while they announce their games, too? :-) Maybe you could look that up and, at least, show a small clip of the kind of excitement they put into a game? :-)

[@markpiekaczpiekacz912]

Thats cool that is old Detroit Tigers Stadium I think that was Fielder at ball to cool. There is no more Detroit Tigers Stadium well there are parts left.

[@tyrannicaltypomichaeltester]

I use to play in school made decent catches myself these are good. THANKS for sharing Mrs Courtney

[@HenryCabotHenhouse3]

Yes, there is out of bounds territory. There is a line from home plate to first base and continuing to a pole in the outfield and a similar line on the third base side. Any ball hit outside of the area between these two lines is "foul" within it is "fair". If foul and caught by a defender the batter is still out, but if it hits the ground it counts as a strike. Except if it would be a third strike, then we just ignore it (kind of us, yes?). The third strike must be either a swing & miss or a pitch through the strike zone without contact. There is also a rule about a ball that makes fair ground contact but rolls or bounces foul prior to reaching the outfield also being called foul.

[@bazzer124]

Welcome to baseball, Courtney! I'm sure you get a craptillian suggestions for vids and I won't break the cycle. Please check out the defensive highlights for one Javier Baez. His skill and agility to make unbelievable plays look routine is worth 6 or 10 minutes of your time. Wish you all the success in the world when you come stateside...

[@MC-rf8sx]

Epic catches..merry Christmas

Baseball is alot like law enforcement(im a former policeman). 90% boredom..not really..and 10%intense action. I love it.America's sport.

[@jacktherenegade6189]

3:20 that is a very big thing with outfielders. Gomes lost the ball in the sun and couldn’t see it. I was an outfielder and when you know the ball is coming to you, but you can’t find it. You just pray it doesn’t hit you

[@jameshenry3530]

Baseball is played in Japan. Have you attended any games there?

[@Tijuanabill]

I watched this just to see if Brian McRae's catch was in here, and it is at 2:28. That's one you remember where you where when you saw it.

Baseball is life! Love the vids keep them coming

[@davidwalter2002]

If you want to see some great catches and amazing coverage of the field, find some vids of Ozzie Smith. A great defensive shortstop.

[@guyobhf6273]

X2. There is no baseball defense highlight video without Ozzie. He was great in San Diego and continued his amazingness for many years in St. Louis. I'm from St. Louis and we combined our 2002 summer vacation with the trip to Cooperstown, NY for his induction into the Hall of Fame and he had a great speech.

[@shawnguinup6971]

Look up Jim Edmonds greatest catches. He should have had two on that list. At one of them should have been number one. Probably the greatest Outfield catch ever.

[@melvinwren]

so typically, the grey pants/and or grey jersey, are the ones that most of the people in the crowds want to lose (the away team). a couple times in this video you see the home team crowd give ovations for the away teams performance. white pants typically indicates home team.

[@melvinwren]

the announcer for the phillies/miami game even mentions this. (this home team crowd giving an ovation.) to the miami guy.

[@markpiekaczpiekacz912]

Baseball I love Baseball played from 5 years old into 12 year of school and Football for my school but played Hockey on the side almost pro almost hahah. But I should have stayed in Baseball. I am A Left-handed but in the day I could hit a changeup but I dont think I can now hahahaha.

[@kchastain3]

The pink bat was probably a game played on Mother’s Day.

[@djbeezy]

That's what is so great about baseball. As a hitter you have to hit the ball between the lines and there is an out of bounds but it doesn't matter when it comes to defense. Baseball is so weird but so great!!

[@ScorpionKing-dt7gl]

The amazing effort that people put into the game is spectacular

[@johnnieangel99]

Lots of great plays. But it's missing some really great older plays. Brooks Robinson, the Human Vacuum cleaner. Look up "The Hot corner" Third Base. Where some serious killer plays have happened

[@mikebunner3498]

Plays like this may be why they get paid so much. Back in the 1980's I went to several Texas Rangers games in Arlington, TX. Trust me these men skill set is at a different level. The best of the BEST... They are trully athletes. If you ever get the chance, Courtney go to an MLB game. You will love it.

[@drchapman6501]

One thing you should know is that Chapman, Donaldson and Machado have the strongest arms of the best third basemen in the MLB. Ankiel converted from a hard throwing pitcher to an outfielder and fought his way back into the major leagues and was for several seasons among the leaders in throwing out runners from the outfield. Catcher Molino has the quickest, most accurate arm in baseball. He once threw out two of the fastest runners in baseball...IN THE SAME GAME. Then there was Bo Jackson. There was no one to compare him to. But the bare handed catch David Wright made is my choice for best catch of ALL TIME.

[@jkatz1303]

These are important because if the ball is caught before it touches the ground the batter is out.Also the visiting team usually will wear grey with name of the city not the team on the jersey.

[@CourtneyCoulston]

ahhh okay i see! Thanks for the info :)

[@JKM395]

Since you mentioned the pink bat, I thought you might like to know why. Every mothers day, MLB makes special pink game bats for all the players. The teams usually alter their color schemes to include pink as well, even if only on hats or armbands. After the games are played, the bats and much of the game used equipment is sold/auctioned and the proceeds go to breast cancer awareness and prevention.

[@holstfly1]

It's a bit long but you should react to top 100 NFL 2019. When you have the time though. Shows closer about the positions and players that are considered the best. Just so you can know some names and the positions! They're like 100 2 minute videos lol so recording a few every week would be such a fun experience! Theres also I think one or 2 players that are in the dolphins!

You should do another one of these, but with catches in the stands!

[@Patrick-cm7do]

This was fun. Though a problem with baseball is these are the best catches of all-time and most of them would just be really good catches in an average game for football. Also, since there's going to be 3 outs every inning no matter what, most of those highlights had very little impact on the game. The ones where they jump over things or into the crowd are CRAZY though.

[@peterrussell4629]

also you should react to aaron rowand and javier baez plays

In '97 Tony Barron robbed Gary Gaetti of an extra-base hit and messed himself up with this amazing catch: kzbin.info/www/bejne/rITKZXWbj8ZlpMk And in the '91 World Series, Kirby Puckett made this famous gem of a catch: kzbin.info/www/bejne/eILOpHenraxmbNU

[@loganinkosovo]

The best Major League Baseball Catch I've ever seen was by a Ball Girl. You will know it when you see it. You really need to see the ball Girl videos.

[@peternash7104]

There's also huge risk, a ball going out will not allow the batter to run. It's in play if it's touched so if you fail the catch you helped the batter.

[@polarisnorth]

Disappointed by the lack of Ken Griffey Jr. in the original video! If you like watching home run stealing catches definitely look up those. For other exciting catches, look up the video "MLB catches in the dugout". More stuff like the catch at 6:20 and 6:50. And yes, if you catch a ball the player is out -- foul or fair territory only matters if the ball lands.

[@hifijohn]

The ball is thrown by the pitcher 80 to 95 mph but can hit 100 mph.

[@davidbalderston2751]

The most commonly heard exclamation made by baseball commentators."Are you kidding me?" Since you ask for recommendations I'm going to suggest Bo Jackson-Career Highlights (baseball). Bo Jackson is, in my opinion, one of the most gifted athletes ever. He also had an amazing Football career in both college and the NFL.

[@3artstylekris206]

As far as out of bounds in baseball, if it hits the ground outside the white lines the batter continues the at bat, but if it's caught they're out

There are a lot of people who believe baseball players aren't real athletes. These people are ignorant. One of the hardest things in the world is to hit a small round ball that is thrown at you at a speed of 100 mph (160 km/r) with a stick. Another thing that makes baseball unique is that it is the only sport where you can hit 30% of your at bats and still be a hero.

[@wheeliebeast7679]

Can't believe this catch rom 10 years ago didn't make it. Not only a great catch on its own merits, but saved one of only 23 perfect games in MLB history, in the final inning no less: m.kzbin.info/www/bejne/oZycn3-vYqZjp6s A perfect game is when a pitcher throws the entire game without allowing a single runner on base. Only happened in 23 of over 210,000 games in MLB history.........

[@jameskoralewski296]

In the game of baseball, they have girl volunteers who help out by gathering up the baseballs that are hit in foul territory (outside the left and right lines projecting from home plate). They help prevent delays in the game from the umpires having to take time out every time a foul ball is hit, which happens quite often in a typical baseball game. Almost always, they each bring their own leather ball gloves to the game. The catches they make are sometimes better than the catches the professionnal players make. Most of these girls are teenage girls and all are volunteers. Here's a link for you to see what I mean. kzbin.info/www/bejne/ZnSmmGBoi8SVfKc
