Yes, it’s early. I mean, actually, it’s earlier than early. Major League Baseball’s regular season hasn’t even started yet.
But, I promise you, what you’re about to see is going to go down as one of the best plays you’ll see all season long and will almost certainly be one of the best catches you’ll see all year long.
Mariners’ centerfielder Billy Hamilton made an absolutely spectacular over-the-wall catch completely robbing Elias Diaz of a home run during this spring training game.
I don’t care if it was a spring training game. An amazing catch is an amazing catch, y’all. He climbs the wall!
Just look at this, man.

SHEEEEEEEEEESH. This man just evoked shades of Bo Jackson and Spider-Man all in one single moment. Incredible.
Hamilton is trying to make the roster at this point and it’s going to be an uphill battle to get it done with the Mariners potentially carrying 3 catchers on their roster to start the year.
But, uh, Billy just made his case with that. And it’s a pretty compelling one that I’m sure some team will hear out. Even if it’s not the Mariners.
MLB fans everywhere were impressed with this.
