I thought Austin Jackson shut the door on the MLB catch of the year discussion when he flipped over the wall at Fenway Park to rob Hanley Ramirez of a home run last week, but there’s another man in the mix after the stunning Spiderman catch he made Tuesday night.
I’m talking about Billy Hamilton, of course. The speedy center fielder for the Reds made an unreal underhand catch while scaling the wall in Cincinnati.
What. A. Grab. 🙌@BillyHamilton

Hamilton’s catch was so good that it kind of buried the highlight catch made by White Sox center fielder Adam Engel. Check this out.
Wow. Adam Engel leaps and brings it back! #WhiteSox https://t.co/a314rOY4kh

Twins center fielder Byron Buxton nearly put his hat in the ring for catch of the year when he came up just short on a ball blasted into the gap by Ryan Braun on Monday. Look how close Buxton came to this one.
