In order to have a career-defining moment, you need to have a career.

"Six years ago today, Johan Santana threw the first and only no-hitter in Mets franchise history. It took him 134 pitches, the most controversial foul ball Carlos Beltran had ever hit and a career-defining catch by Mike Baxter."

Just for kicks, I looked up the "career" of our favorite Archbishop Molloy product:

.228/.333/.331, 4 HR, 28 RBIs.

Career WAR of 0.4.

So, yes. That time he made a nice catch in a big spot was undoubtedly the highlight of a career full of lowlights.
