The great thing about baseball is that for every compilation like this, all fans can think of many other great catches that aren't shown. It's a game played at a relaxed pace, punctuated by absolutely amazing athletic plays.

The little “cubby” is called a dugout. Each team has one where the players not on the field watch the game. The tarp is there to protect the field “pitch” during rain or bad weather. I would recommend you watch a video on the best double plays in MLB. There’s also a great video that explains the different kinds of pitches that a pitcher can throw to the batter, and why those pitches are effective. I’ll find a link for you. My favorite team is the Los Angeles Angels. Their player, Mike Trout, is one of the very best in the league. There are videos on him out there too.

There is only one reason he used his open bare hand. This is due to instant reaction as he realized the ball had faded across the other shoulder away from his glove, and he made a full speed instant reaction to that sudden realization. Making the play even more unbelievable

Baseball is like a chess game played on a field, where each manager moves his pieces/players around the board. There's a lot of strategy involved as well as athletics. And there's also a lot of science involved. Especially in the pitches.

baseball has a unique pace in sports. there are a lot of moments of pure illness, where nothing is happening and then BAM, a 100 mph pitch is thrown and launched off a bat at >100 mph and the fielders are all running here and there, etc. and then.... idle again. I can see why some people find it boring, but once you adjust to the pace, it is great to watch.

I was in love with baseball (watching and playing) when I was a little girl. It's the brainiest field game played in the US, with more rules than you can even imagine. 🤣 I don't think it's boring to play at all, but I suppose I can understand how couch potatoes would gravitate to basketball or football viewing. Watch Greatest baseball fights. Baseball players brawl a lot more often than football players. 😀

Forget the every day iiritants of life, turn off the cell phone and relax. Watching baseball decompesses me and lets me tune out this world for awhile. Frankly I enjoy the slower pace of the game vs football and basketball.

Most of the time players will be using their glove. But in a time of suspense when they need to make an out quickly they will grab the ball with their bare hand. They don’t use it as music has the glove though to avoid injuries to the hand. As the ball is very hard.

6:45 The umpire called him out early. The hitter isn't out until the ball is back on the proper side of the fence and the player has to be touching the ground. I think the hitter also has a good argument if he pointed out the Umpire helped him back over the fence.

There are videos on the greatest plays commerce surprise plays, many on injuries, someone fights in arguing with the umpire It just covers the gambit. It's only upon a rare occasion that a player actually catches of ball with his hand. The top was on the field because it is used to cover the field when it starts to rain. They cover the field not so much the outfield so that's why the tarp is On the film but way out of way from the field.

Generally Gloves are for catching, Hands are for throwing. If you use your mit correctly, the ball should never touch your gloved hand, as it will bounce off your palm. Remember these balls are going 100+ mph, so it will hurt. So not only did the second guy catch a ball over his shoulder he had to close his hand at the right time too. Not something I'd recommend...

It's really helpful to look up a quick rule summary on KZitem. Baseball's basic rules and the structure of the game is pretty simple, but it's basically impossible to glean by just watching. There is so much that goes unsaid and even rules that are unwritten that it can be pretty impenetrable to an uniformed viewer

I love to play baseball & have played on some company softball teams. Some of these corporate teams are serious about the game & pretty good at it. Just to let you know (and I know I will get blasted for saying this) some baseball games are very boring to watch. It is a great participant sport but could be a pretty dull one to watch. Not like 'Cricket' boring but some baseball games come pretty close to that. You should go to a game & decide for yourself. To appreciate the strategy and some of the nuances, you will need to learn more. But hopefully these is a lot on interesting plays until then. And get on a softball team if you get the chance. It is much more exciting to play the game.

I think that's a problem for non-American who grew up watching soccer, baseball is not a continuous movement game like soccer or basketball is ,nothing happens then something happens then nothing happens and then some else happens ,its a very different mindset, you have to completely reprogram yourself on how you view sports to understand baseball.

@@hifijohn I have seen some pretty boring continuous movement games too. I think it is more that everyone gets a turn in baseball. You can steal a base of course but you can't steal the ball & run with it like other sports. The 'momentum shifts' just aren't the same in baseball. And someone new to the sport should focus every time the pitch is made. Serious injuries do occur in the crowd when a line drive hits a spectator.
