That could be his eye-black but more likely it's a depression left by his forehead; there're other dents left by his glove, right hand and shoulder.

My dad says He’s out. My dad knows more about baseball than everyone on the planet. It’s no longer considered equipment when not in its proper place. Helmet not on head means his helmet is no longer considered equipment or part of his uniform.

You like these plays? To me plays like these just expose the flaws Of the game of baseball.

As a catcher you have to have a strong arm with accurate throws. Weird. Sounds like a pitcher to me. Less lefty pitchers. If the world was 50/50 right and left. You would see left handed catchers.

Just act like you've been there..... the celebration bullshit in sports is totally classless, ghetto and pure poor sportsmanship.

aaaaaaaaaaaahahahahahahahaha

Very well, but you’re writing a book when the page would work.

That’s simply outstanding

So simply put… arm goes back while body is moving forward. Thanks Coach. Kids love easy to understand coaching (and so do dads).

I sincerely hope the wall is OK. 😊

It just takes a certain kind of person at the right time to do something like this. As an ex catcher and middle linebacker and fullback, selling out like this was par for the course for me, but the accumulated battle wounds doesn't feel awesome at 40 now. A more safety balanced athlete typically has a greater sense of self-preservation instinct than this, but then there are those that will sell out when there is enough on the line and then there are those thar do it a bit too much too often. I am trying to coac my kids to try to be on the better side of the equation.

Great base-running, but terrible slide. Good thing it wasn't close.

I thought that he might get a black eye, but instead he gave the wall eye black.

He got up like nothing happened. My whole side and face hurts just from watching that. Awesome catch!

Go Vols!!!

he was lucky they had such thick padding on the wall

What a great play. What else can one say?

Seeing a teammate make a selfless play and completely sell out for the team is so motivating for the rest of the team. I hope he is ok, but that was awesome!

I hope the wall is ok.

Awesome stuff!

I generally appreciate that Matt keeps the language PG in his videos, but the S-bomb in this one is delightful.

Thank you for helping me rediscover my love for baseball (late 90’s, early aughts alum). Like, comment and subscribe

When a former MLB outfielder (Chris Burke) shouts "Whoa!" you know it is a high degree of difficulty catch.

I made a catch similar where I ran into a chain wire fence and I believe it was the first time I saw stars. Little teeny balls of light just floating around in the front of my face lol. Plays where the outfielders are running to the wall always now reminds me of Nelson Cruz back in 2011 losing his team their World Series rings because he was not going full out on a very catchable ball that David Freese hit in Game 6. I'd have ran straight through that wall knowing it was all on the line with that one catch.

Geez, he left his eye black print on the padding. Great pick!!

He put his team first. He showed complete disregard for his own safety. I feel bad for the wall.

CWS has been so good this year. Dude for NC State today had a great catch in right field too. Video would have been better with a little John Fogerty intro! If u know u know!

Yea whether your playing infield or outfield you are taught to be on your toes and to be moving once the pitcher delivers the baseball. That way when the baseball is hit you have a better chance to make the play but as an outfielder you are taught once the ball is hit in the air to never take your eye off of it. When you hit the warning track you know your getting close to the wall but your taught to feel the wall with your hand on which he does here. But that is an incredible catch by the centerfielder

I'm continually amazed by the depth of knowledge and expertise exhibited by members of this community. It's humbling.💞

Acuna with a dot to third from right field, Raul Mondesi from the Dodgers had a few as well

How do you watch outside the US? We don't get ESPN

Kid needs to be selected in the draft for that play alone

Matt I love your videos. Do you have any experience playing men’s league as a former pro?

Those lollipop throws drove me crazy as a pitcher in high school and college. We had one guy -- great teammate, great hitter and an outstanding catcher -- but who had a serious case of the yips. He could throw lasers to second base, but he could not get the ball back to the mound. It was some kind of mental block -- he would lob the ball back and it would land a good 10-15 feet in front of the mound. It was a real Chuck Knoblauch/Steve Sax kind of thing. We made accommodations because he was so good behind the plate and with the bat, but it's weird how the mind can screw with you like that.

Pitch clock has no place in baseball. Not part of the game.

"Safe at Home" ad painted along the baseline. Someone saw this coming.

Back view. Look at how well he keeps his hands inside the ball and on top! Greatest player/hitter of all time

"Chaos is a ladder."

this one was fun , keep it up

Thank you, this was very informative.

Great video! Super interesting. Thanks!

I can't find any good video of Jesse Barfield, but as a Blue Jay fan during his prime years he had about the best arm I ever saw. His throws actually seemed to accelerate, as if they were being drawn to the fielder's glove by a tractor beam.

You overcomplicated things here. The catcher was napping. He lobbed the ball back to the pitcher. Shoot, I could have stolen home on this and I'm a retired old fart. No excuse. That was a bush play on the catcher.

The celebrating I can’t stand is when a team is down by 8 runs and a kid hits a double and the whole team party’s like it’s 1999! 🙄 I guess the team forgets they are losing

Very good

It's been a couple years since you posted this video, so I don't know if you'll even see my Comment, but there are a couple things that weren't addressed that I'd like to know about: uniforms and equipment. When you go to a new team, do they have a uniform in your size and with your name on the back waiting for you? Do they know what style pants you prefer, or do you just accept what they give you? What about cleats? Do they have your size in the team's color, or are you expected to bring your own? And what about gloves and bats and batting gloves? I'd like to know how all of that works. Thanks, Matt.

Fundamental baseball the bat let slide down and run to first, be bad ass then celebrate, if you disagree never coach baseball.
