Jo Adell robs 3 home runs in the same game

Los Angeles Angels outfielder Jo Adell pulled off a feat Saturday that has to be seen to be believed.

Adell almost single-handedly beat the Seattle Mariners with his glove in a 1-0 contest at Angel Stadium in Anaheim, Calif. In a game where runs were at an absolute premium, Adell executed a home run robbery to perfection three separate times.

The first one came in the 1st inning against last year’s home run leader, Cal Raleigh. The Mariners catcher slugged a deep ball to right field that would have been a solo shot had Adell not made a leaping catch at the wall to keep the game scoreless.

Adell ran it back in the 8th inning against Josh Naylor, robbing him almost the same exact way he did Raleigh to start the game.

Adell went full Hollywood in the 9th inning with a play that looked like the climax of a cult classic baseball movie.

The first two catches were already major highlights for Adell on their own. The last one was an early entry for Catch of the Year. The fact that Adell did them all in the same game — one that was decided by a single run — makes it all the more preposterous.

This is Jo Adell’s world, and we’re just living in it, folks.
