3:49 The ump was even shocked about Renfroe's catch lmao

[@jessegarnertheopinionated544]

Why are they not showing the scores? How can I be pumped up about a game saving play when I do not know what the score is?

[@notoriousfam2922]

It's the same as a nice slam dunk when your team is down by 20 (NBA) Baseball is trying to be Hype now. You know all splendor no substance

[@catswag16]

@@notoriousfam2922 a lot of these catches were in close games tho

[@aidansheedy8135]

You know what, you’re right!

[@38RS]

Fair point but I was thinking people might dismiss plays if they were made when the team was down by 5 in the ninth like “WeLl ThEy LoSt AnYwAyS” 🙄 but personally yeah I’d like to see them also

[@SEANALPURVIS]

I think what is happening is they're highlighting plays and not situational baseball. However, if you listen to the announcers, they'll tell you what each play means....including whether it saves a game, avoids a high score, etc. :) My favorite part is the absolute amazement I hear from many of the announcing teams. It's fun to watch and listen to.

[@imsoalone]

the biggest robbery is Cedric Mullins not getting a gold glove this season

[@Billyball35]

He wasn't even a FINALIST.

[@pegmedlock4045]

Oh, man, TOTALLY agree 💯 with that. He played excellent D, made some phenomenal catches. He got robbed!

[@jerry7786]

Yes sir

[@sammymerzel5765]

Renfrow's catch should be at LEAST Top 5.

[@Ethan_Coble]

The only reason I'd say it shouldn't be is because it was mostly luck and he had an absolutely TERRIBLE read on the ball off the bat... Most right fielders simply make that look like a routine catch... He just happened to misplay it in a way that he needed divine intervention to be able to catch it and somehow he got it 😂... If the name of the video was luckiest catches of 2023 then it would be number 1 by a mile 😂

[@SportsPhantom]

Cedric Mullins + Byron Buxton = Best frenemies

[@OriolesBirdWatcher]

Top 60, after the first 40 plays without a Mullins clip, I knew he'd be all over the top 20...and he was. We need you healthy all season long in 2024, Ced. Folks can talk about his offensive dip in the 2nd half of 2023 all they want, he was still and is always CLUTCH. Everything you want in a CF. If a ball CAN be gotten, he will get it.

[@garybyoosey3163]

He was playing so tough on both sides of the ball before the nagging injuries. Was loving watching him play. He still made some absolutely electric plays after his first injury.

[@eel_joker_7772]

I am a football fan but I have only recently been watching this sport and I am falling in love with it. ❤️❤️❤️

[@dandalmonte8594]

The Castellanos play when he caught the ball in foul territory, spun, then threw a seed to gun down a guy tagging. That was a great play.

[@mr.bohner6819]

Seiya Suzuki robbing a Grand Slam HR against the White Sox in the late innings of a big game for the Cubs should be in this list... Cubs had a top defense last year & rightfully should have 5 spots instead of 3

[@KalybYohe]

Imo Cedric Mullins had the best catch of the year

[@BentheOriolesFan]

Agreed

[@zych0894]

which play was that?

[@KalybYohe]

@@zych0894 #4

[@chriskelly6559]

Hard to pick just one.

[@jeffday4005]

Most entertaining aspect of baseball to watch highlights of imo!

[@christopherduthu2452]

Surprised Evan Longoria’s leaping grab to get an inning ending double play with the base loaded in the wild card round isn’t on here

[@Imugi007]

Man the amount of ridiculously talented 20-25 year olds that are coming into the league right now is kinda insane. The next 10 years of baseball is gonna be FUN. Feels like half the plays in this list were made by rookies or 2nd year players.

[@ABELITOXXX]

Dominica republic represents 🇩🇴🐐

[@cameronmcanally5977]

8-3-5 triple play for the first time in MLB history….wow that alone is incredible….lets go Bravos

[@LinguisticSugar]

Amen! I was at that game and didnt know what the heck was going on on the field right away. I'm pretty sure the red sox pulled a hidden ball trick that game earlier which confused the umps for a bit and then the triple play happened not long after so we were all looking at each other in the stands trying to figure out what just happened. lol

[@GabrielAlves-kz7lb]

what 8-3-5 means ?

[@LinguisticSugar]

@@GabrielAlves-kz7lb Each position player has a number, 8-3-5 is Centerfield then first base then third base for the three outs. Technically it was the second time to happen in MLB but the first was in 1884 which ironically was between the Boston Beaneaters (who are now the Braves) and the Providence Grays (short lived team from my home state of Rhode Island) which is only like 45 minutes from Boston.

[@GabrielAlves-kz7lb]

@@LinguisticSugar Thank you bro, I'm new to baseball and still learning about it

[@loganmandelik2307]

Not a single play from the Platinum Glove winner Andres Gimenez…? Guess he makes everything look so easy it doesn’t look all that great

[@TheSonofabiscuit]

#7: Harris II to Olson to Riley #2: Harris II to Riley to Olson

[@T.N_JavyProdzz13]

The play that Tauchman made at 31:43 was crazy

[@Roysorb]

It's funny to see these comps so clearly made by people who have never played ball

[@hammerfret]

Cedric Mullins all over this list and he can’t seem to sniff a Gold Glove.🙄

[@shanesnell1049]

So, the basic point of this video is that Cedric Mullins is a Gold Glove Center fielder. Roger that

[@helpmereach45ksubswithoutvideo]

Congrats to all who is early and found this comment 💎

[@calebbradford8120]

how the heck is number 1 better than the harris double play 🤦🏼‍♂️

[@Fiservv]

Thank you for saying this. I may or may not be biased, being a braves fan 🤣, but you’re telling me a leaping catch to rob a home run is better than an amazing catch, then another play to get the runner out??? even if you aren’t a braves fan i can assure you that that should be number 1… ALSO! let’s not forget that it was a game saving play in the 9th with only 1 out. Whoever votes whatever play is the best is clearly stupid… Sorry for the long message.

[@Ethan_Coble]

It's because it was the world series and that play is a large factor in why the Rangers won the world series... If the braves had gone on to win and then later won the world series, then it would be flipped. No one here thinks the play in a vaccum is better than the double play... But the impact it had on determining who wins the world series is what makes it #1.

[@goughpsmythe4979]

​@@Ethan_CobleThe #1 play on this list did not occur during the World Series.

[@shiniestcharizard1858]

Love these vids

[@deathcat2439]

I hate it that Austin Slater’s catch from that almost no hitter from this year didn’t make it on here. I mean every time I watch that clip I’m like how the heck did he catch that

[@kevingdoyle]

Here, let me correct the title for you. The Top 60 Fielding (Almost Entirely Outfield Unless It's A Triple Play) Plays of 2023!! Seriously, how about some infield work? And how about some outfield assists?

[@user-yz7sp1jd9h]

Excelente Haci es que se juega el béisbol con clase y Calidad dando el todo en el campo 👍👍

[@Ethan_Coble]

Every time I see that Hunter Renfro no look catch I just can't believe it... He had the worst read ever on that ball off the bat, and still manages to blindly throw his glove up while facing the complete opposite direction and not looking to catch it... Probably the luckiest catch i've ever seen 😂

[@PapitoLou]

Kyle Tucker one of the best outfielders in the game but that one catch was not #8 worthy

[@Chevy-jj2po]

How long did it take to find all of these plays?

[@kylejackson6839]

BOLD PREDICTION. If Pete Crow Armstrong 11:53 can keep his bat even just consistent enough to be an every day player he will go down as one of the greatest defensive players off all time. 13 games and far less than that on defense this year and this play is nutty. RENOWNED for his defense. Exciting stuff.

[@ksan3409]

Too many outfield plays

[@user-wf2vv4mt6l]

Bro just made it to the top 60 in one inning

[@bailysbeads2057]

All Rise

[@garybyoosey3163]

How is getting way up and robbing a grand slam in the 9th inning only #60?

[@slinky_malinki5330]

Franco's bare handed over the shoulder catch probably would have been top ten, had he not decided to diddle kids.

[@yuyu-su8mq]

3:38 29:08

[@rseg2707]

Big up taveras!

[@boygoodlook]

太讚了😂👍

[@MikeFisher-wq4xl]

You can tell these announcers are homers. Every play is impossible and the greatest ever

[@edgarolivas14]

MLB should have better quality of video, 720p are to poor come on!!!

[@Nolan33177]

Machado at 35 should be hugher looks like a mike Schmidt play. But the play i seen Schmidt play he was bent over barehanding tge ball near 2nd base and underganded at like 90 mph to get him. Greatest play i ever seen from 3rd. Look up schmidt highlights. 9 time gold glover 3 mvps should be 5 divisions a ws champion hof, the man will always be the goat at 3rd

[@donniemills967]

Number 50 should have been top 10

[@cygnusx-3217]

You omitted Luis Robert Jr.'s three best catches.

[@holdenafart5241]

[@user-zw3lb6fo5e]

How is Tavares number one when there was so many better plays, and so many catches like his that were better.

How is the leody catch better than the Michael Harris Austin Riley play

[@michaelhession2105]

The Orioles have 6 of the Top 60 plays on this list, but they easily could have 8. Anthony Santander made two ridiculous catches against the Pirates and Royals and neither of those made the list. Just saying.

[@robertwilliams3322]

[@kootybear]

Not a single play by the Twins was good enough for the list?

[@The_Gunkster]

where henderson double play from the outfield?

[@ArmyMenMajor]

I refuse to believe that there was not a single clip from JP Crawford in this video

[@kylejackson6839]

Just when you think MLB can’t milk Elly De La Cruz anymore than they have they have him 3 times on this list and make number 30 a cutoff assist to home LOL. 0 plays from the NL gold glove shortstop Dansby Swanson

[@morgan1238ify]

I know the league is trying to distance from Wander, but to whitewash his top plays feels wrong. Particularly his bare handed grab against Houston back last April, easliy top 3 plays of the year... :/

[@user-ly1sx8ci8z]

[@Nolan33177]

Renfroe at 50 should be top 10. They overrate hr robberies. Tgats not as hard as some other plays

[@SEANALPURVIS]

Honestly, I'd make one change. Flip #1 and #2. That #2 highlight was amazing in its totality. That being said, I'm very very proud that two of these plays I had the chance to watch happen, because they were turned by the DBacks no fly zone. Corbin Carroll and Alek Thomas. Never change, boys. #GoDbacks

[@JamieCarter-wv8rp]

It just shows the plays?

[@coltDagoat33]

no TJ FRIEDL??

[@lurkinginshadows1141]

#21 may have been highlight reel play, but it ruined Yankees season on the whole. 🤷‍♂️

[@kflowersmith]

So, the Blue Jays won three individual Gold Gloves as well as the Team Gold Glove AND they had the player with the best OAA in the Majors (who was robbed of a Gold Glove, by the way) but only TWO plays by a Blue Jays player in your top 50??? But MLB isn't biased against the only Canadian team in the majors? What a joke! EDIT: He led the Majors in DRS, not OAA. My mistake. Either way, he was robbed of the Gold Glove!

[@whippie3650]

Is the OAA player you’re talking about Varsho?

[@kflowersmith]

@@whippie3650 Yes, Varsho. Led the entire league in OAA but wasn't given a Gold Glove. Messed up.

[@whippie3650]

@@kflowersmith baseball savant says Varsho had 11 OAA, which was 9th in the American League and wasn’t even the highest on the Blue Jays (Kiermaier had 13)
