The youngster soared through the air with his arms and legs out, like a flying squirrel, right over the catcher.
He actually jumped over home plate and had to scramble back to touch it.
The video, not surprisingly, has gone viral.

It’s reminiscent of the move that Toronto Blue Blue Jays outfielder Chris Coghlan took in 2017 to score against the St. Louis Cardinals.
Coghlan took a flying Superman leap over Cardinals catcher Yadier Molina to score.

… or anyone in their way.
Now that’s doing whatever it takes.
