San Francisco Giants center fielder Jung Hoo Lee made a remarkable catch during the team's 7-1 victory over the Tampa Bay Rays at Oracle Park on Sunday, August 17, 2025. The catch involved Lee using his glove, thigh, calf, and pinning the baseball between his knees, an effort widely praised as one of the best catches of the year and even described as the "catch of the decade" by commentators Mike Krukow and Duane Kuiper. Giants manager Bob Melvin also expressed astonishment at the play, noting he had not seen anything like it before. The Giants benefited from strong pitching by Logan Webb and recorded 11 hits in the game. Following this, the Giants experienced a downturn, losing three of four games to the San Diego Padres, including an 8-4 loss on August 21, 2025, marked by a poor fifth inning and overall sloppy play. Amid this stretch, Jung Hoo Lee extended his season-best hitting streak to 10 games. In response to an injury to Landen Roupp, the Giants made roster moves, potentially bringing spring training standout Joel Peguero to the major leagues.
