Los Angeles Angels outfielder Jo Adell may have played the single most impactful defensive game in baseball history on Saturday night in his home ballpark -- truly an Angel in the Outfield.
And in a 1-0 win for the Angels over the Seattle Mariners , every bit of his contribution was critical to the final result. Adell robbed three home runs. Yes, you read that right.
And no, that's not an exaggeration. All three catches Adell made were clearly going to be home runs (above the yellow line or over the fence) if Adell wasn't there to deny them. He was in right field, which has some tricky portions in the Angels' ballpark, but he's familiar with it.
