2015 Diamondbacks' Play of the Year: 9/18 A.J. Pollock's catch

With a solid majority of the votes, the winner of the first AZ SnakePit award is A.J. Pollock's bit of outfield thievery.

In the recap for the game, I wrote, "It took a phenomenal leaping catch by A.J. Pollock at the wall to preserve the shutout; it's a grab we may well revisit in a few weeks, when we discuss Play of the Year:" And so it proves, as our reigning Gold Glove outfielder now has another award for his (notional) mantelpiece, after 54% of fans voted for his leap at the outfield wall which took a home-run away from Jarrett Parker and preserved the shut-out in a pitchers' duel which the Diamondbacks eventually won 2-0.
