BEST defensive plays of the week! (feat. Jurickson Profar, Riley Greene and MORE!)

Sanchez maybe with a broken bat. Little flare into shallow center. Marcy coming on. He dives. Marcy makes the catch. What a catch from Jacob Marcy sprinting in. That ball had no business being caught. A tremendous play in his fourth major league game. On the ground. Her gloves it from the seat of his pants. He throws him out. Oh, nice play, Nico. He lunged to make the stop. Rolled over. was on the seat of his pants as he made that throw to first and nips LA Cruz on a wonderful play. Wow. And what a stop by Rochio. Oh, well that’s a a saver right there. What a nice nice play. And there he lines one to center field. Bar with a dive and he got it. The gold glover in center field for the Blue Jays. Varo playing in leapt to make that play and take a hit away from warming Bernabel. There’s that one out to second. Caught out there by Simeon. The golden snow cone. Never seen that one before. Just like he’s back playing basketball in California and high school right there. Getting the rebound way up in the air. And Mangum, did he make that catch? Apparently so. Apparently so. He just kept running after it and at the last second just reached his glove into the stands into the front row and pulled this one in. Back to the mound. Might have hit Kikuchi. Neto bobbles into his bare hand. Throws out low. The magician doing it again. Nice job by Zach Neto on that one. That ball was kind of a hot potato in the air to right. Long run. Newbar coming on. Still coming. Still coming. dives and makes a great catch. Last moment, Nbar dives and makes a grab in foul ground. An unbelievable catch for out number one. Duban to right center field and deep. Marcy’s going over. He runs it down. Boy, this kid can play. My goodness, Marcy. All the ground, all the real estate that he had to cover. I mean, he gets a great jump. He takes a D. Look where he’s playing right now, Kyle. And look at the jump that he got coming in and Jurgson Profar with a nice sliding catch. Lot of ground to cover here for Jurgen Profar. And you can see that closing speed. He does a great job. He was the only guy who could get to that baseball and he pulled it in. Hits this one toward right field and Scott gets to it. spins, throws, one hopper in time. What a play by Bryson Stock. Look how far he is in right field. You got to high five Nick while he’s out there. That’s a heck of a play. That’s one thing, you know, Bryson’s not swinging the bat like you want, but his defense has been outstanding all year. Nathan Lucas, like most of the Jays, had a good night last night. He drives a ball to center field and at the wall taken away a home run is Brenton Doyle. It was hit high enough that Brenton could get to the wall, time his leap and pull it back over the barrier. Oh my, what a great catch by the goal glover in center. Two two and this is popped up third base side. Long run for Smith. He goes into a slide and makes the catch. What a play. What a clever play. A long slide like he’s in the backyard of the slip and slide and timed it perfectly. Not hit hard. Racing in CJ Kish. A diving catch. He hung on for route number two here in the seventh. Yeah, you got to lay out. Charging, diving, and shallow right. What a grab by Kus. Swing and a line drive. Centerfield charging in Verling. He dives and makes the catch. Matt Verling saving a run here in the fifth inning. And Young into center field. Robert Jr. He got there to make the diving play. Anything hanging in the air with La Ponta has a chance. You know he’s going to go get it. Slow roller. Tough play. Fosch’s got it. He comes to the plate. Got him. What a play by Calvin Foscher. He grabs the ball. He gets it to the throwing hand. He flips it and he throws it to Ramirez who applies the tag to Walker on the ground. Crawford able to get it. Flip it out of the glove. It pops right out and finds Cole Young. A shovel toss while he was on the ground. JP Crawford a tremendous play to get the final out of the inning to get me at second. 02 coming ground ball shorts stop hole. Not an easy play is it? It’s all easy for Gunnar Henderson. Wow. From the parking lot, folks. And he gets him over at third base. Fly the other way. Alex Call is going back. He’s still going. He’s still going. Twist around and makes the grab. Alex Call, his first batter at Dodger Stadium wearing this uniform, makes a tremendous play. Right center field, dropping. Mangum lays out and holds on and the Razer and Outway. What a play. There is no margin for error here. He had to have a flawless route, perfectly laid out. Yeah, I just looked around the infield. None of them did it. Matiosio lays out and makes a great grab. That is an unbelievable catch. That catch probability had to be minus full extension on the dive. Teodosi. Oh my. Anthony hits it high in the air down the right field line. Yreky races back on the track at the fence. Leaps. He got it. He brought it back. Mike Ystreky robs Roman Anthony deep in the right field corner. He hauls it in for the final out in the bottom of the fifth inning. A tremendous catch from Yaz at Fenway Park. Drive toward right center field. Cruz going back. Cruz. Oh, what a pretty play to make the catch. My gosh. Just galloping into the right center gap. Makes the catch as he crosses the warning track. Bangs up against the padded wall. And he is covering some ground tonight. This is the second time he’s made a a long run. this one. He didn’t have the luxury of starting to slow down. He had to stay on his horse the whole time. What a great friend to a pitcher that is. Tampa Bay in town tomorrow night, but the Mariners looking to get game three against the Socks. The 01 pitch swung on line drive left field in toward the corner on the run. Randy Rosena reaches out and he makes the catch just as he got to the warning track. Randy Rose Aarena outruns the baseball. He gets to it in the left field corner. He acknowledges the fans at Edgar’s Cantina out there. Holy smokes, what a catch by Randy. Two outs for the White Socks here in the top of the ninth inning. That’s a chip shot to shallow right. Marte coming on. Plays it on bounce. Wave at third. Throw to the plate. Chance and a tag. He is out. Noelby Marte with a huge dime from right. And that’ll end the inning. The biggest throw of his outfield time. and he cuts down McCutchen at home play. Well, a perfect throw because it gave the catcher plenty of chance and Trovinho had to get out over there and make a nice tag. Went right down there to get the man. What a play. Now, D Young hits it deep to left field. Sodstrom twisting and turning. He leaps at the wall and he caught the baseball. De Young sent the baseball for a ride and Soderstrom was able to reroute and make a terrific catch on the warning track colliding with the wall. That is a fantastic play by Sodstrom. Man, he read that well. Knew he had that padded wall to leap into. Man, what a play by Tyler. That is a rocket into right field. A sinker as Nota dives and he made the catch. Ryan Nota in right field tonight with a very nice diving play on a sinking liner. That was it very hard. Kind of a do or die attempt at it. And there’s a drive on the line out to center field. Allen on the move. Reaches out and he makes the catch. A slow developing play by Greg Allen. First day wearing an Orioles uniform here at the ballpark in Baltimore. Arius cuts it off, bobbles it. Oh, what a play by Roio. He picks up his double play partner and throws out Sosa to end the inning. This one’s hit hard in the air. Diving grab again. Riley Green the magician. Unbelievable. Oh man, he didn’t look like he had a chance. Even though it’s Riley Green, it just didn’t look like he had a chance. Here’s the 2-1 golf to left. Riley Green on his horse again. Riley slides and makes another nice play left. Try somewhere else, gang. You better hit it somewhere else cuz if you hit it out the left, 31’s got it. There are no hits in left field tonight. And McNeel into center field. A base hit. Perkins throw to the plate on a hop. He is out. Ball game over. Blake Perkins loads up the rifle and finishes this game. Gilbert slides. Did he catch? He caught it. Wow. And his family’s going, “We know that kid.” Oh, to deep enough right field. Diving catch by Reynolds. A great job by Brian Reynolds right there making that catch. Blind drive. And what a play by Sadon. He’ll throw him out at first. A Superman dive to steal an absolute 100% sure base hit. That is a beautiful play and a big one here right to start the fourth. Gore on the move. Lis has got it. Oh, he reached out and grabbed it and was headed for the wall in left center and Guriel got to it somehow. Tip of the cap, wagging a finger for Lurtis. Right back up the middle. What a diving backhanded stop by Roio and they turn. An incredible inning ending double play. You will not see a better double play at a more critical juncture than that one. This one up the middle. And they got him. I did not think that was possible because of how well Lyle can run. The very fact that he could get this much on it doing a 360 and watch how high the release is. What a play. Uh-oh. That ball is deep. Proar at the wall. He brought it back. That was super human. Watch how high he gets up over the wall and not just up but deep for Jurgen Profar. And there is that milliondoll smile after the fact. He timed it perfectly and takes one away. Ground ball toward the hole. Backhanded by Turner. throws one hop off the turf in time. What a play by Trey Turner. One out and Trey Turner with a great play to start the night. It’s a hard thing to move past. If it comes down, Fitzgerald is there and he ends up making the highlight defensive play. Rolling onto the tarp. That was a circus grab from Ryan Fitzgerald. Wow. It’s a tough one here, but Garcia coming in. Did he stay with it? He did. What a catch. A little juggling neck with it. How did he keep that from hitting the turn? No, he just stuck the glove out at the last second. We see it bounce out. I don’t know how he he was able to get that bare hand on the play. Oh, that is just ridiculous. Fly ball right center field. Well, going out as Bader back toward the track to the wall. He jumps and he made the catch. What a play. Harrison Bader using his athleticism, gauged it perfectly and brought it on back. Never a doubt. Gets out there, finds the spot on the wall and times it perfectly.
