Angels' Jo Adell makes three incredible home run robberies, securing 1-0 win over Mariners...

Los Angeles Angels' right fielder Jo Adell donated his glove to the National Baseball Hall of Fame after making history with three home run robberies against the Seattle Mariners. This incredible defensive performance is considered one of the greatest in MLB history, with Adell denying Cal Raleigh, Josh Naylor, and J.P. Crawford of home runs.

Adell's achievement is even more remarkable given that he's only 27 years old and has transformed into a Gold Glove finalist in 2024. His 10 home run robberies since 2020 tie him with Kyle Tucker for the most in the big leagues. The Angels' 1-0 win over the Mariners was largely thanks to Adell's spectacular catches, earning him praise from legendary outfielder Torii Hunter, who called it “probably the greatest defensive game I've ever seen.”

Some are hailing it as the most incredible single-game defensive display in MLB history. He made his first spectacular catch against Cal Raleigh in the top of the first inning. The second wouldn't come until much later, in the eighth inning, when he robbed Josh Naylor of a hit in almost the exact same spot.

The drama wasn't over yet - Adell would wait until the top of the 9th inning, with the Angels clinging to a 1-0 lead, to make his third incredible catch, robbing J.P. Crawford and striking a pose that's already being hailed as one of the best photos of the 2026 season.

When a game becomes The Game, Cooperstown comes calling.
