April 14, 2015 – Nolan Arenado makes the catch of the year
The baseball season was just a few weeks old, but Nolan Arenado’s running, tumbling catch over the tarp at AT&T Park in San Francisco was already being called not just the catch of the year, but an all-time great. Not only did Arenado hang on to the ball after throwing a hip check into the tarp, he had the presence of mind to wheel and throw the ball back into the infield to keep a runner from advancing. The Rockies beat the defending world champs 4-1 that night and this catch was too good for simply a still photo.
