It’s still early in the season, but we may have just witnessed the catch of the year, courtesy of Kansas City Royals outfielder Michael A. Taylor.
Taylor robbed St. Louis Cardinals catcher Andrew Knizner of what would have been a home run in the fifth inning of Monday’s game.
The Royals outfielder made a ridiculous leap at the wall, stretched out his glove and came down with a highlight catch.
Take a look.

That’s about as good as it gets. Well done, Michael.
The Royals, meanwhile, fell in a 1-0 game to the Cardinals. They’re 7-14 on the season.
