Respect for athleticism in another physical activity

[Bill Glasheen]

I had to share this catch from Blue Jays' Kevin Pillar. Note the following:

• His ability to track the ball to his left.
  .
• His awareness of the wall to the right.
  .
• His awareness of the need to elevate.
  .
• His explosiveness.
  .
• The whole body coordination and athleticism during the catch.
  .
• The cat-like landing. (I try teaching this art. It spares the joints.)

As a former outfielder I made some very fun running, over-the-shoulder catches. I've never made one like this. I covet!

This is reminiscent of scenes from Nature.
