Summary
Los Angeles Angels right fielder Jo Adell had a defensive performance for the ages, robbing three home runs in the team’s 1-0 victory over the Seattle Mariners. Adell’s plays included a highlight-reel catch in the stands, and former MLB star Torii Hunter praised Adell’s effort, calling it “probably the greatest defensive game I’ve seen.” Adell has now recorded 10 home run robberies since 2020, tied for the most in the majors.
Our Reading
The game followed a familiar script.
Adell was on fire in the outfield, making play after play. He robbed Cal Raleigh of a solo home run in the first inning, and then did it again against Josh Naylor in the eighth.
But the real showstopper was the third robbery, which Adell made in the top of the ninth. He leaped, caught the ball, and fell backward in the stands, almost getting trampled by the excited fans.
It was like a movie scene, with Adell as the hero.
This one felt recognizable early, and by the end, it was clear that Adell was the real deal.
