VIDEO: Josh Reddick scales wall, makes unreal catch

Oakland Athletics right fielder Josh Reddick is having a fantastic year offensively, but tonight in Toronto, he added some defensive mojo to his resume. In the bottom of the second, Blue Jays outfielder Travis Snider hit a ball deep to right center, and Reddick went up for the catch. Instead of just settling under it or leaping like most players do, Reddick grabbed a hold of the chain link fence in right, pulled himself up the wall, and waited for the ball to fall into his glove. Spiderman-esque, no?

The A's went on to crush the Blue Jays 16-0 in a complete rout that saw Toronto catcher Jeff Mathis pitch the ninth inning of the game.

yeah...like he really NEEDED to leap to make that catch...he hung on the fence and caught it at a level he could have caught it at by standing on the ground. We're not talking Jim Edmunds head first grab toward the fence here!
