WATCH: College baseball player makes sensational acrobatic jump over catcher to score

College baseball players are an exciting group to watch. They are playing their hearts out, trying to make a name for themselves in front of big-league scouts and make their way to the draft.

College teams' seasons are winding down, and players are starting to get ready for postseason baseball. With only a few regular-season series left, some players are doing everything they can to lead their teams to victory.

That could certainly be said about the University of Texas-Rio Grande Valley's catcher Damian Rodriguez. He made a play at the plate that has caught the attention of baseball fans across the world.

Watch the clip below:

In a matchup against Stephen F. Austin, Gonzalez tried to score from second base on a routine flyout to centerfield. That alone is worthy of making a highlight reel, but his jump over the catcher sealed the deal.

The throw beat him by a mile, but Gonzalez completely cleared the catcher, avoiding the tag. That is something you will not see every day, and it fired up the home fans in attendance.

Over the years, college baseball players have made it a mission to jump over catchers. One of the most famous instances came in 2010 when a Fordham University player leaped over the catcher for a score.

Leaping over catchers is also something MLB fans have seen throughout the years. in 2017, Toronto Blue Jays slugger Chris Coghlan leaped over St. Louis Cardinals catcher Yadier Molina for a score.

Damian Gonzalez's leap certainly will not be the last time baseball fans will see a play like this. Given how athletic baseball players are becoming, some may try to add this to their bag of tricks.
