The Angels had one out and no one on in the bottom of the first when Schanuel launched a 1-0 splitter from A's pitcher Grant Holman toward left-center. Clarke raced back and planted his right foot about halfway up the wall in a perfectly timed leap and grabbed the top for support. He extended the upper half of his body several feet beyond the wall and made a backhand grab with his left arm fully stretched out. Denzel Clarke of the Oakland Athletics

Toriii Hunter, the former defensive standout and multi-time Gold Glove winner, delivered a solid endorsement of the unreal play that was made by Athletics' outfielder Denzel Clark on Monday night as the A's visited the Los Angeles Angels. Clark took the home run away from Angels' first baseman Nolan Schanuel, who was bidding for a blast out to left-center field. The Angels won the game 7-4.

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.
