Gary Matthews, Jr. just made an amazing catch, and it really shows how important (and underrated) defense is in modern baseball. That said, I’ve compiled a list based on extensive research of the most respected fielders of all-time, and I think you’d be surprised to see how high up he is on said list.

1. Prince Fielder
2. Cecil Fielder
3. Willie Mays
4. Jim Edmonds
5. 8 tied

He’s one of the 8. So is Eric Byrnes.
