Athletics’ Denzel Clarke Defies Gravity with Jaw-Dropping Home Run Robbery Against Angels
Picture this: Denzel Clarke, barely three weeks into his major-league stint, doesn’t just make an ordinary catch. Nope—he nearly pulls off a full-on wall climb at Angel Stadium, denying what looked like a slam-dunk solo homer from Nolan Schanuel. Right there, in the first inning between the Athletics and the Angels, Clarke turned a routine fly ball into a jaw-dropping, gravity-defying moment that left pretty much everyone—Schanuel included—standing slack-jawed. Now, if that wasn’t wild enough, barely days earlier in Sacramento, Clarke had already thrown his body against the outfield wall chasing down another spectacular grab, walking away mostly unscathed, mind you. This 25-year-old, drafted in the fourth round out of Cal State Northridge in 2021 and called up from Triple-A this season, is racking up not one but two early bids for Catch of the Year. At a .224 average with one homer and three RBIs so far, Clarke isn’t just making plays; he’s making statements. Honestly, it’s not just an introduction—it’s a declaration: watch this space, because Clarke’s career is already off to one heck of a start. LEARN MORE
