The Catch

In case you haven’t seen the Denzel Clarke catch:

That is going to put him near the top of greatest Denzel’s ever. According to Claude.AI:

Denzel Washington is by far the most famous person with this name. He’s an Academy Award-winning actor known for films like “Training Day,” “Malcolm X,” “Flight,” and “Fences.” He’s considered one of the greatest actors of his generation and has also directed several films.

Denzel Curry is a well-known rapper from Florida who gained prominence in the hip-hop scene with albums like “TA13OO” and “ZUU.” He’s particularly popular among younger audiences and is known for his energetic style.

Denzel Valentine is a professional basketball player who has played in the NBA, most notably for the Chicago Bulls.

Denzel Dumfries is a Dutch professional soccer player who plays as a right-back for Inter Milan and the Netherlands national team.

Denzel Washington is overwhelmingly the most recognizable of these, being a major Hollywood star for several decades. The name itself isn’t extremely common, which makes Washington’s fame even more prominent when people hear “Denzel.”

Watching games, I am impressed with the level of outfield play. The fielders are fast, so they get to balls, and many are acrobatic, able to make catches in hear impossible positions. It’s fun to watch, but probably helping to cut down on offense.

FanGraphs puts Clarke’s WAR at 0.6, all of the positive value coming from his defense.
