Denzel Clarke, a rookie centerfielder for the Athletics, is making headlines with his extraordinary catches in baseball. His recent play against the Los Angeles Angels, where he scaled the wall to catch a likely home run, has been hailed as one of the best catches ever. This follows an earlier stunning catch against the Baltimore Orioles. Commentator Dallas Braden strongly praised the catch's significance in the realm of baseball, while Clarke himself regarded it as his best ever, hinting at even greater potential in his blossoming career.
In the bottom of the first inning of the A's game against the Los Angeles Angels, Nolan Schanuel hammered a pitch to straightaway center which looked like a certain home run.
Oh my God! said Dallas Braden who was on the call for NBC Sports California. He added, I've seen the list of the greatest catches you're ever going to see in your life. If you don't have room for this one, we're watching two different sports.
Even Clarke had trouble downplaying his acrobatics. Asked by reporters after the game where the catch ranks in his personal pantheon, the A's phenom acknowledged it was top of the list.
I think this is probably the best one I've ever made, Clarke said. Until next week, perhaps.
