Watch: Angels' Hunter Renfroe makes unreal no-look catch vs. A's originally appeared on NBC Sports Bayarea
While it's only Opening Day, the best catch of the 2023 MLB season may have already been made.
To lead off the bottom of the fifth inning on Thursday, Oakland Athletics infielder Jace Peterson hit a sharp line drive to right field off Los Angeles Angels two-way superstar Shohei Ohtani. The ball looked like it was going to drop in for an extra-base hit after right fielder Hunter Renfroe got turned around by it.
But as Renfroe's head was facing the Oakland Coliseum's right-field wall, he stuck out his glove and made an unbelievable no-look grab right before the warning track.

For such a ridiculous grab, the 31-year-old veteran making his Angels debut somehow made that look smooth.
How is anyone going to top that over the next five-plus months of baseball?
