5 times Mookie Betts blew our minds

The Mookie Betts Show continued Wednesday in historic fashion after the diminutive outfielder clubbed a record-tying five homers in a seven at-bat stretch over two mind-boggling games.

Betts' improbable power binge has captivated baseball over the last 48 hours, and even upstaged torrid stretches by Red Sox teammates Xander Bogaerts, Jackie Bradley Jr., and retiring legend David Ortiz.

Perhaps most impressive, Betts' ridiculous play isn't all that surprising. Despite just 250 major-league games under his belt, the toolsy 23-year-old talent has already produced a career's worth of "wows" that we assembled into a jaw-dropping top five. Here they are:

The Harper catch: "He's got ups"

Long before Betts matched Bryce Harper for the most home runs in a two-game span, he was busy stealing stats from the eventual National League MVP. On April 13, 2015, in just his 58th major-league game, Betts kick-started one of the most memorable games of his career with a first impression Harper won't soon forget when he robbed the Nationals star of a first-inning home run. "He's got ups. ... He's an unbelievable ballplayer, a lot of fun to watch," Harper told The Washington Post after the first-ever game between the two young stars. "I wish he wouldn’t have robbed that homer, but great players make great plays."

'Craziest thing I've ever seen'

Not long after Betts stole from Harper - in fact, it was only a half inning later - the speedy Red Sox right fielder robbed a pair of bases from the Nationals with an audacious double steal that left Ortiz gushing. "That was fun. That was the craziest thing I've ever seen in baseball," Ortiz told WEEI. "We were talking about it and I was explaining to him what he did because I don't think he knows. I mean, I know because when I was telling him what he did he was like, 'Really?'"

How did Betts celebrate his exploits in the field and on the bases? With a three-run homer over the Green Monster the very next inning, of course.

Scores from 2nd on dribbler

Despite Betts' legendary April game, the then-22-year-old was still adjusting to major-league pitching during the early part of last season. Through the first two months, Betts had an OPS under .700 and an OBP barely over .300. You'd never know, though, given the uber confidence he exuded on the field, like on June 20 when he daringly raced around from second base on a check-swing dribbler and slid headfirst into home for an improbable run against the Royals.

'Best catch I’ve ever seen'

On Sept. 25, in perhaps the most iconic moment so far of Betts' young career, the Nashville native sent Fenway Park into pandemonium with a heart-stopping, game-ending grab over the bullpen wall to rob Chris Davis of a homer and preserve Rich Hill's 7-0 shutout over the Orioles. "I thought it was actually in the seats," Hill told MLB.com. "I thought it was a little bit deeper. When he did catch it, I caught a glimpse of my reaction on TV. That was probably the best catch I've ever seen."

Hill wasn't exaggerating, either. According to Statcast, Betts covered more than 80 feet in fewer than six seconds while reaching a top speed of nearly 17 mph before making the acrobatic catch.

'We're blessed to watch Mookie'

One day after homering three times during the "best night" of his career, Betts hit two more longballs Wednesday to become the first player in MLB history to go deep in each of the first two innings of consecutive games. The list goes on. Betts' unprecedented week in Baltimore left everyone feeling like they were a part of history. "You rarely see it and sometimes you never see it in a career," manager John Farrell told MLB.com. "But we're blessed to watch Mookie every night from our dugout."
