San Francisco Giants center fielder Jung Hoo Lee made an extraordinary catch during the team's 7-1 victory over the Tampa Bay Rays at Oracle Park on Sunday. The play involved Lee catching the baseball off his glove, thigh, and calf before pinning it between his knees, a feat described by commentators and Giants manager Bob Melvin as unprecedented and potentially the "catch of the decade." The catch received widespread acclaim from MLB analysts and broadcasters, with Mike Krukow and Duane Kuiper calling it one of the best catches in recent memory. The Giants also benefited from strong pitching by Logan Webb and a total of 11 hits in the game. The catch has been highlighted as a standout moment in the 2025 MLB season and has drawn attention both nationally and internationally.
