The most amazing catch we'll see all season
DeWayne Wise, your run is over. The reigning unbelievable wall leap of the moment goes to Hiroshima Toyo Carp's Masato Akamatsu, who turned in this unbelievable Spider-Man impression while robbing Yokohoma's Shuichi Murata of a home run on Tuesday night.
Yeah, there's probaby some Nippon Professional Baseball fan that's sitting at home right now and complaining that Akamatsu's UZR really isn't all that special, but I can't stop replaying this grab. I mean, it's as if Gary Matthews Jr.'s famous catch and that viral video of the wall-climbing ball girl had a baby.
Anyway, as long as we're on the subject of amazing wall leaps from overseas, does anyone remember this one embedded below?
