Great College Baseball Catch

[billybxox]

Do any outfielders play without the glove?

[billybxox]

Pookinator, I play a lot of cricket, and for me that is a standard run to be honest....

However the catch is still good, I like the way the full length dive is accompanied by the mitted glove reaching up- difficult to achieve under any circumstances!

Check out Paul Collingwood's 'catch of the century' or perhaps a cricket catches compilation video for some similar!

Cricket and Baseball catches make an interesting comparison!

I'm also from the UK... I'm not hating on you!

That's y my cousin plays baseball , and why he in the outfield

[wwepieman]

To all the people arguing on whether he was in the air or not when he caught it, i believe he was. But WHO CARES!!!!! Even if you reach out as far as you can while you're running you're still going to end up laying out. If he were to try and catch that ball standing up it would have been stupid. He probably couldn't of even secured it, and if he did he just would of tripped over and fell flat on his face and he'd look like a retard. Great Catch Great Video. Thank You: the accfan

At 0:06 I was like "that wasnt a great catch" lol. But the real catch was awesome

[MyBoySlug]

[uvapride7]

@jasonwhij1 Nice job sweeping us wahoos

[dtr3closer]

@PokerVT1 y r u even watching this if u think it's an easy catch? go comment on a cricket video

[PokerVT1]

easy catch

[gatorcarter]

@PokerVT1 You can't be serious! Not only was the catch amazing, but the distance he had to run to get to ball made it even more amazing!

[PokerVT1]

@gatorcarter

the catch is ok, he makes a standard run, and dives and catches it with a 6ft square glove, dont see why it was so amazing.

[gatorcarter]

@PokerVT1 Oh, I see you're from the UK. That explains a lot.

[PokerVT1]

@gatorcarter

if you look at some catches in cricket, they make the same catch like that without a glove

[gatorcarter]

@PokerVT1 One thing I can't stand is people from Britain puting down anything American that they know nothing about.

[PokerVT1]

@gatorcarter

lets not turn this into an america vs the world debate. alot of my friends are american, its a sport debate.

[gatorcarter]

@PokerVT1 Yeah but since you brought up the cricket comparison I'd like to comment. The use of gloves in baseball has a multipurpose, not just used as protection but also gives the fielder a bit of an extension in catching balls that might otherwise be out of reach. Another use is a way of hiding the ball in an attempt to fool the runner. The pitcher will use his glove to hide the ball while adjusting his grip so the batter can't discern what type of pitch is coming.

[gatorcarter]

@PokerVT1 Also balls are hit in to the outfield more often and with more power than in cricket where the batter faces the bowler directly instead of to the side of the plate like in baseball which allows the batter in baseball to use his full upper body strength and a full extension of his arms to power the ball for more distance. I'm no expert but it seems to me cricket has a lot more fielders, where as in baseball there are only 3 outfielders who have more ground to cover.

[poonkinator]

@PokerVT1 6 foot? that was a 13 inch glove max...Im no math expert...but thats NOT 6 feet. And no thats not a "standard run" he covered more ground than any cricket player needs to cover

[crazytrain2u]

who won the game? did it go into extra innings

[thekingofyourmoma]

damn nice catch

[inbuisness]

That was a hell of a snag. good player, great catch and pure hustle. what baseball should be! Gotta love it!

[whiteb0ie]

[Bolgamesports]

Whoa!!! Love the catch!!!

[flappyballs14]

what a scrub. that guy is a scrubbb

[sergiotallin98]

very nice catch man

[victorsvalient]

Henry is going OH MY GOODNESS

[GibbySR71]

WAHOO-WAH!!

[rulemarty85]

i used to play centerfield and this catch is a lot harder than it looks. i agree 0:51 he is airborn. at first i thought he could have made the catch without diving but after looking at it, i doubt it. Great Catch, well played

[iboneic13]

I guess that's the point (to make it look easy)

[hallball23]

Nezby and Seatle are absolute morons. I will take in to ACC Baseball for a weekend and you will go home looking for your mama...LMB

[HoRoBiN23x]

Tim Henryyyyy, TCB represent

[FaithfulAndTrue1]

Nice hustle!

[imfamousera]

y do people hate on people so much that was a great play the guy was in the air before he caught the ball n i bet the people who say they can makes this catch probably cant i play baseball n i respect a play like this is with no hate

[theaccfan]

Amen. I probably couldn't though I have slid to catch a ball in right field, but never actually laid out. I went 2 a Durham Bulls camp and catching it on the run hitting the wall 4 fun is still really hard. MUCH harder then it looks :P

[MrLittleDevilbmx]

@imfamousera i agree 100% i play baseball and as an outfielder those catches are so tough. awesome catch !

[imfamousera]

@MrLittleDevilbmx ty u man im just lookin at it again look how far he ran too he was running for a little bit before he went for the dive !

[SeattleMarinersFan1]

i can make that catch easily

[nebzy23]

thts pussy shit i can make tht play any day :p

[chinesenotjapanese]

the center fielder did not have to dive to catch that ball. he caught the ball before he dove it was not a great catch he could have caught it standing still. theaccfan is stupid to call that catch great

[Landonzzz]

ur crazy

[Ballplayer300th]

you're blind...

[theaccfan]

He catches it halfway on his flight to the ground.

[theaccfan]

Look at 0:52 he touches the ball when his whole body is airbourne

[nlcentralLOSERS]

@chinesenotjapanese ya he did!?! what r u talking about? watch it and pause it at 0:48 hes airbourne BEFORE the ball touches his mitt great catch

[xph1l]

@chinesenotjapanese pause at the beginning of 0:51. He was in the air and the ball hadn't even got to his glove yet.

[CardsFan4life100]

@chinesenotjapanese Wow..

[xsmilesmileo]

haha nice, he came outta no whereeee

[BowlerScott]
