Athletics center fielder Denzel Clarke is no stranger to making incredible plays in the outfield, but what he did on Monday night against the Los Angeles Angels puts him in the "catch of the year" conversation. 

Clarke nearly flipped over the center field fence to rob Angels' Nolan Schanuel of a solo home run, wowing the crowd and everyone watching in the process. 

Even Schanuel was in awe, as Clarke scaled the wall, made the catch with his entire upper half over the wall, and spun himself back around to land on his feet on the warning track.

Naturally, Clarke let out a roar when he landed back into the field of play, as one would after pulling off a catch of that rarity.

"Oh my God!" one of the Athletics’ announcers said when Clarke made the miraculous play. "I’ve heard the list, I’ve seen the list of the greatest catches you’re ever going to see in your life. If you don’t have room for this one on your list, we’re watching two different sports."
