Los Angeles Angels right fielder Jo Adell had a night he will never forget.
Adell showed off his defensive prowess during the team’s 1-0 victory over the Seattle Mariners, robbing three home runs, including one that landed him in the stands. The defensive performance was so good, that former MLB star outfielder Torii Hunter levied enormous praise on Adell.

Hunter, who works in the Angels’ front office, called it "probably the greatest defensive game I’ve seen."
"I’ve never seen three home run robberies in one game, and I’ve never seen a guy on the third one fall into the stands, catch the ball and keep his feet in like he’s a wide receiver," he said. "I was jumping up and down. I almost passed out."
Adell has harnessed his defensive skills over the last five seasons with the Angels. He was a Gold Glove finalist in 2024, and even though last season was a down year for him in the outfield, Adell really helped power Los Angeles to a victory.
He was instrumental in taking a solo home run away from Cal Raleigh in the first inning. He then did the same against Josh Naylor in the eighth.
Mariners shortstop J.P. Crawford thought he had tied the game in the top of the ninth. Adell raced toward the ball deep in the right field corner. He leaped, made the grab and fell backward in the stands. The catch was upheld after a replay review.
