Youth ballplayer leaps over catcher to score wild run

As youths, many of us enjoyed participating in a game of leapfrog every now and then. However, how many of us can say we were able to show off our leapfrog abilities in the middle of a competitive sporting event?

It's probably a pretty short list, but it now includes 11-year-old Devin Avedissian of the San Diego Force youth baseball team. During a San Marcos Wood Bat tournament game played on March 29, Avedissian was able to size up the opposing team's catcher and leap over him in one epic and effortless bound to score one wild and remarkable run for his team.

The play had disaster written all over it from the beginning. Avedissian immediately started for home after watching the wild pitch skip past the catcher. Just as quickly, however, the ball shot off the wall like it hit the bricks at Wrigley Field and ended up right back in the catcher's possession. At that point, most players — experienced or otherwise — would stop in their tracks and take their chances in a rundown. Just not Avedissian. He was determined to score, and the result was downright incredible.

Seriously. Check out that sick air.  

And the awareness to touch home with his hand as he's landing.

Rest assured, this isn't how baseball is usually taught at the youth level.

This was just instincts and remarkable athleticism on display. 

We wouldn't necessarily encourage other kids to try emulating this leap either. But we can't help but be wowed by Avedissian's Superman effort.
