Home Run Robberies but the catches get INCREASINGLY more insane!

[@sorin_markov]

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"

[@leomurry8195]

I know lol. Half the hitters are just smiling after they see the catch

[@teemurphy-tg4iq]

well those are the only 2 reactions you could have ..

[@NotTheHappiestGuy]

So true lol

[@Gamer2k4]

It's probably easier have the "I can't be mad" reaction when you're down 9-1 like at 8:40. What I'd like to see is the pitcher's reaction throughout the whole thing. We usually get the "ah shoot, so much for that" look, but never how it changes after the catch is made.

[@BHHN-qj4us]

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

[@DA-og4px]

Exactly. Still the best, IMHO. I'm very surprised that they had Pillar's Blue Jays catch shown after... since GM Jr's had a higher degree of difficulty.

[@nosepicker88]

Totally agree. He had his back completely facing the plate, and he had to take his eye off the ball at the end, effectively making a blind catch.

[@chriswelcome8102]

It was so good it actually made the next 3 look kind of average

[@themanincharge6418]

It would be the best catch jumping off the wall. Mike Trout did not need the wall. As a matter of fact, the wall made it difficult for Trout to keep the ball in the glove.

[@AidanWR]

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

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).
