Joey Gathright Can Jump Over Pitchers Too…

Most of you remember my post a few months ago chronicling the jumping ability of Joey Gathright. We watched in amazement as the short former Rays outfielder leaped over two sedans in a vacant parking lot. A young man back then, Gathright was signed in part because of this freakish athletic ability, making it all the way to the majors leagues despite a lack of overall baseball acumen.

He’s yet to find a home, although things are looking up for him this year in Kansas City. He has a shot to start in the outfield for the Royals, getting at bats while continuing to tantalize fans and scouts alike with his off the charts speed and athleticism. So, as I’m watching SportsCenter tonight, the top ten plays of the day flashed across the screen. Low and behold, entrenched in the number one spot is the former Rays outfielder, proving that he can leap more than cars in a single bound.

Check out this amazing video. Welcome to the show Hiroki Kuroda.
