Dustin Ackley robs homer with leaping grab, joins 'catch of the year' discussion

Posted Jul 22, 2014
You'll excuse Dustin Ackley if he's not as graceful as some of the outfielders who often get associated with great leaping catches. Ackley, the Seattle Mariners left fielder these days, was a second baseman until mid 2013. But his impressive leaping grab Monday night to steal a home run from Travis d'Arnaud of the New York Mets, proved that Ackley is a real outfielder now. (Yahoo! Sports)
