Watch: Rizzo climbs atop stands for must-see catch
Anthony Rizzo made one of the best catches of the year - again.
Rizzo, who climbed over the tarp in Cincinnati back in June for a daring grab, showed off that exceptional dexterity yet again in Chicago on Tuesday, when he chased down a foul ball at Wrigley Field and calmly stood atop the wall for the ridiculous catch.

The highlight-reel play prompted chants of "MVP!" for the Cubs first baseman, who, in addition to his defensive exploits, entered Tuesday's game against the Brewers hitting 25 homers with a NL-leading 34 doubles and .970 OPS.
"Got a good dismount," Rizzo told reporters after the game, hours after U.S. Olympic gymnast Simone Biles won her fourth gold in Rio. "Could have stuck the landing a little better."
