One heck of a catch.

Reminds me of a cousin of mine, only girl in a family of five boys. When we were kids we had this little game called "burn out" where we would toss a baseball back/forth with as much steam as we could muster in an effort to get the other person to quit cuz your hand was hurting. I never won! JoAnn could hang in there with any guy and usually beat her brothers in the process.

[Pappy!]

The player had that look like.... "I am a multi-million dollar player and a ball girl just showed me how it's done".....

yah we use to do that as well me and another kid my age usually won.  I use to love playing softball 3rd base when I got hit hard to 3rd base.  I use to get it, wait a few seconds until runner got going and then firing it as hard as I could to 1st base and get runner out by 1-2 steps is all.  First baseman did not like it though sort of hurt his left hand catching it.

I also remember playing pick up basketball game in high school recess a stray BB was heading to the sideline in the corner BEHIND the BB hoop and I ran as fast as I could and grabbed it at the last second and running full steam into the gym wall tossed it up from BEHIND our BB rim and arched it just right BB coming from behind the backboard and that the ball went SWOOSH into the hoop.    Everyone was in AWE.  I bet I could not do that again in my or anyone elses lifetime again, more luck than skill.

I liked it and then I read the youtube comments to find it was a Gatorade ad.

Yep, she is a digital All Star!

Fake unless you think the catcher wears a mitt  on both hands.

[Bighead]

May be fake but where did you see two gloves?

[ridingron]

At the start of the video, catchers mitt is on the left hand. After the catch, the mitt is on the catchers right hand.

[Bighead]

We are
Watching her not the catcher. So where do you see HER with two gloves?

May be a Gatorade ad but, if you allow the link to continue, you'll see a bunch of "Ball Girl" catches from the Major Leagues and this one is included.   There were some amazing catches shown.  

At the start of the video, catchers mitt is on the left hand. After the catch, the mitt is on the catchers right hand.

Agreed but, he has taken his catcher's mitt off of his left hand and holding the mitt in his right.
It does appear that he's wearing some sort of wrist support on his right side.

Definitely 2 different mitts. Fake

He's not holding the mit, he's wearing it on his right hand.
So fake.

So fake.

Only if he's able to wear the glove backwards.  The web is between his thumb and index finger on his right hand.

I think the video is at least enhanced but the catcher's mitt is not the evidence.

[Rams]

Dave,
It really doesn't matter to me on this but, go back to the video and stop it 27 seconds into the video and then skip forward one frame at a time to 29 seconds.   It clearly shows the catcher's bare left hand and him holding the catcher's mitt in his right hand.   

All in good fun.

Still no answer to what the catcher has to do with the ball girl? Kinda like Mueller at the hearings.

[Davemn]

The clip, produced by Element 79, combined footage taken during and after a game between the two minor league teams with some digital trickery to produce the illusion of a spectacular catch made by a hustling ball girl. ShootOnline talked to director Baker Smith, who explained how the effect was created:

"The big shot, the one that follows the ball out [from the plate to left field], was completely choreographed for lack of a better word," Smith said, explaining that a motion control shot followed what would have been the trajectory of the ball, and the artisans at New York's Framestore CFC later inserted a ball in post.
As for how the ball girl (played by stuntwoman Phoenix Brown) made the spectacular catch that is the highlight of the video, she got a little help from rigs and Framestore CFC.

Smith and his crew shot the big catch right after the game they were shooting concluded, attaching the ball girl to wires and having two stunt men off to the side literally yanking her up the wall.

Yep got it. I can't see it clearly on my little iPad. I'll take your word for it.

Wow you know
The ball girl and the one who shot the footage personally. Congrats to you!

Wow, guys relax. We all agree that we need the gals in the major leagues, in the Army front lines, and we need to send one on the next moon landing. Cause on the moon, sammiches don't make themselves
