Wall climb

A wall climb is a play in baseball where a fielder makes an out by catching a fly ball or pop up while climbing a wall.

The play is generally made by outfielders robbing hitters of hits that otherwise would have been home runs, or at the very least a double.

[1][2] One MLB player with a reputation for wall climbing was outfielder Torii Hunter, who won nine Gold Gloves in his 19-year major league career.

One notable wall climb by Hunter occurred in the first inning of the 2002 Major League Baseball All-Star Game, when he robbed Barry Bonds of a home run in right-center field.

[3] The wall climb move is also simulated in baseball video games such as the MLB 2K series.

Jay Gibbons leaps and climbs the outfield wall in 2007, as he tries to catch a high fly ball.
