VIDEO: Betts ends game with absurd leaping grab over wall

Boston Red Sox right fielder Mookie Betts waited until there were two outs in the ninth inning to steal the show Friday at Fenway Park.

Betts, the diminutive 22-year-old who hadn't received any professional instruction in the outfield until last year, bookended his club's 7-0 victory over the Baltimore Orioles with a ridiculous leaping grab, extending over the short wall in center field to take a home run away from Chris Davis.

Despite his lack of experience in the outfield, Betts emerged this season as one of the top talents at his position, posting the 12th-most wins above replacement (4.3) among outfielders. Though much of his value comes from his offensive abilities, his defensive work has earned above-average scores from both ultimate zone rating and defensive runs saved, too - not bad for a guy who was still playing second base a year ago.
