I think Morgan at #1 is obvious. I may be a little biased for Dickinson/Milam at #2 because it's fresh and I was at the game. What's your top 4?

1. Tre Morgan
2. Dickinson/Milam
3. Ray Wright
4. Alex Bregman

Can’t argue with those top 4. #5 would probably be Jared Foster diving catch. Also gotta put the relay from KState in the top 10.

The Ray Wright catch, in the CWS to snatch 2 runs from the stands in RF is tough to beat, Only the Tre Morgan play is bigger imo

When the baseball bounced off the 3rd baseman’s head and Bregman caught it

The Trey Morgan play is in a class by itself. It directly led to a National Championship.

One of my favorites was Ben McDonald in the outfield nonchalantly catching the fly ball to win the regionals at College Station.

The Josh Pearson leaping catch in left against UF in the 2023 CWS finals saved game 1 for us.

2. Dickinson/Milam


It was a great play but this is an absolutely ridiculous ranking

1. When Mark Laird mounted the Ole Miss Bat Girl to catch a foul ball







2. The OPs list works for everything after 1.

Was it back to back days Leon Landry had the diving catch and against the CF fence where his jersey got caught for a second.

I don't agree with the Tre Morgan catch and throw. He caught it one on step and threw it on the next step. If he would have caught and threw it on the same step, all in one motion it would have been athletically more difficult. But it was in an extremely clutch situation.

Underrated

If he doesn't make that play we probably lose that game.

Leon Landry and Jared Mitchell had a few during the 09 run too. That outfield was so fast.
