Royals’ Kyle Isbel made an improbable leaping catch against the back wall in the 9th inning

Kansas City Royals center fielder Kyle Isbel made one of the best catches of the 2024 MLB season on Wednesday night.

With his team up 4-2 on the Tampa Bay Rays, Isbel had to go to the back of the diamond to have a chance on a deep Taylor Walls hit with a Tampa Bay runner on second base.

Rather than give up the error, Isbel leaped into the air with his back to the wall and snagged the ball for the second out for the top of the ninth inning.

That Isbel had the focus and athleticism to make a catch like this is absolutely unreal, as you can bet his Royals teammates were just as amazed as we were that he pulled this off in the clutch.
