Athletics rookie Denzel Clarke delivered one of the best catches of the 2025 MLB season, sprinting to the edge of Angel Stadium, jamming a cleat into the outfield wall and robbing a would-be Los Angeles Angels home run.

Nearly every game at the Major League Baseball level, provides a dazzling, defensive play. All-time candidates for the greatest catch in MLB history, usually involve Willie Mays', 'The Catch' in 1954 or Jim Edmonds' fully stretched, diving catch in centerfield in 1997. Well, on Monday night, during the bottom of the first inning of Athletics vs. Los Angeles Angels, Athletics' centerfielder, Denzel Clarke entered an unreal play as a candidate for catch of the year as well as potentially the greatest catch ever made on a baseball field.

Yusei Kikuchi took a one-hit shutout into the eighth inning and Jo Adell homered and drove in three runs to help the Los Angeles Angels beat the Athletics 7-4 on Monday night. Mike Trout had two RBIs for the Angels, who shook off the latest incredible catch by Athletics rookie Denzel Clarke in center field. Kikuchi (2-5) yielded just a one-out single to Max Muncy in the fifth and exited after striking out Nick Kurtz with his 104th pitch to begin the eighth.

Denzel Clarke scaled the wall at Angel Stadium to take a home run away from Nolan Schanuel in stunning fashion.

Former Cincinnati Reds outfielder Nick Martini is headed back to the team (not the place) where he made his MLB debut. The not-Sacramento Athletics have signed Martini to a minor-league contract according to his player page. The 34-year-old debuted with the Oakland A's back in 2018, appearing in 55 games and batting .296 with a .397 OBP, but after a slow start in 2019 where he hit just .091, Martini was optioned back to the minors, and would make the trek back-and-forth between Oakland and Las Vegas (much like A's owner John Fisher) a couple of times before ultimately being designated for assignment in August.
