This guy was the best centerfielder I've ever seen. He should be in the Hall of Fame for his defense alone.

[a.d.jenkins]

People may never realize how hard that #1 catch was. Greatest one I've ever seen

[zlinedavid]

An aspect of that #1 catch that I rarely see called out: the fact he doesn’t even turn his head around. He got a last glance of the ball straight over his head, judges the trajectory, lays out and snags it. It’s one thing to make a full extension catch like that when the ball is at an angle, but this was almost exactly straight over his head, meaning there was a moment that he didn’t have visibility on the ball.

The number 1 catch was THE GREATEST CATCH I’ve ever seen!

[scottventura]

Over the shoulder(s) full speed run, body extension in full dive all while he can no longer see the ball. Unreal instinct of where the ball and his glove would be to catch it. It’s hands down the best catch I’ve ever seen. Willy’s was great, but this is on a whole other level.

[gskessingerable]

The best fielding center fielder ever.

[speedracerjeff]

There are many more great plays and catches Jim Edmonds made as an Angel. #1 I remember watching live on TV, best catch ever.

[brandonjohnson]

The last catch which was number one was absolutely incredible and is up there with the best catch ever no doubt

[SpicyChikenDlux]

He is the Vince Carter of amazing catches

[luisurena]

Favorite OF of all time coming from a Dodgers fan.

[gerardocontreras]

We were so lucky in the 90s. Centerfielders like Edmonds, Griffey, and Andruw Jones.

[chadperry]

Jim E was a icon for me as a kid. His defensive style and boy was it a style! Made me take notice and ALOT of pride in defense. Can't teach smooth son ;)

[revlo]

Best defensive center fielder I have ever seen.

[rodneylovings]

I saw that game when he caught his “. 2nd” best catch. That catch should have been number one ever! Of anybody’s catch!!!!

[dwitt]

I loved watching Edmonds. Incredible catches

[mainman]

I was at the game for the number 5 catch … he is incredible

[allencharbonnet]

This dude was incredible in the outfield.

[fullblizzy]

Best center fielder ever in my opinion. I played the position. They left out alot of his plays and he can hit

[leftfieldelvis]

His top three catches are the best ever for anyone else, while his #1 is arguably the best defensive play by a centerfielder ever.

[coolguyponus]

He's the reason I played centerfield. I couldn't hit a curve to save my life, but I could play center better than the rest. I was always wanting to mimick Jimmy Ballgame.
