Jo Adell turned in the best defensive game in MLB history
Angels outfielder Jo Adell turned in one of the best defensive performances you will ever see
Robbing a home run is a special feeling for an outfielder. Imagine doing it three times in one game, to help your team preserve a 1-0 win? That is exactly what Los Angeles Angeles outfielder Jo Adell did on Saturday night, pulling back three would-be home runs to help the Angels secure a 1-0 win over the Seattle Mariners.
His thievery began in the top of the first, when he climbed the wall in right field to deny Cal Raleigh of a potential solo shot: Jo Adell got UP to rob this home run 🤯 (MLB x @AceHardware ) pic. twitter. com/e6wJMhajP0 — MLB (@MLB) April 5, 2026 The outfielder was just getting warmed up.
Zach Neto blasted a 443-foot home run in the bottom of the first to stake Los Angeles to an early 1-0 lead, which the Angels held deep into the contest. But that lead was threatened in the top of the eighth inning, when Seattle’s Josh Naylor lofted a drive deep to right field. Enter Adell: JO ADELL ROBS HIS SECOND HOMER OF THE NIGHT 🤯 pic.
