Colorado Rockies outfielder Randal Grichuk made a ridiculous play to rob Texas Rangers star Corey Seager of a three-run homer on Tuesday night at Globe Life Field.
With the Rangers trailing 3-1 in the bottom of the fifth inning, Seager cranked what appeared to be a go-ahead three-run dinger, but Grichuk brought it back.

Corey Seager was thissss close to his first home run as a Texas Ranger. 406-foot, 104.8 mph exit velocity, only to be robbed by Randal Grichuk, jumping over the bullpen wall to rob the homer. pic.twitter.com/COKNfn33xm

Even Denver Broncos quarterback Russell Wilson — a fourth-round pick by the Rockies in the 2010 MLB Draft — was very impressed.
Wow! What a catch! ⚾️@RGrich15 @Rockies

That was a crucial play at the time, and it proved to be the difference in the final score. Colorado won 4-1, which also happens to be the Rockies’ surprising record in the early going of the 2022 season.
