Baseball player does front flip over Catcher!

I love that goal.... one of my favorites. All hockey players should play lacrosse.

I saw that baseball clip a couple of days ago. Epic. Leaping Lanny Poffo styles.:D
 
Woah man that's pretty sick! I guess you don't see it so often because there's such a high chance of something going wrong..... either you'll get it right and it will look awesome, or something will go wrong and you'll look like a massive douche (like kicking the catcher in the face)!

oh, plus you might end up jumping over the home plate. The only reason it worked for him was because the catcher was in front of the home plate by quite a lot.
 
baseplate |ˈbāsˌplāt|
noun
a sheet of metal forming the bottom of an object.

It's called home plate, or home base. ;)

That was a dangerous move! If the catcher had tagged the runner while in the air, the now gymnast would have no control over his landing. But this time, it worked. AWESOME!

My bad. We don't actually have baseball this side of the pond. I'll edit my post :)

I've always wondered why more guys don't jump over catchers who are down low and blocking the plate. I don't mean a flip per se, but a hurdle would do the trick.

Because it's a fairly risky move and could easily result in an injury. I guess the major leaguers don't want to risk it.
