Watch this college baseball player tumble over the fence to steal a homer
It’s been a good week for MLB home-run thievery, between the amazing catches by Kevin Pillar and George Springer. But a college baseball might have them both beat.

This is Josh Jyawook from the University of Evansville and during Wednesday’s game against in-state rival Indiana University, Jyawook pulled off this fantastic catch:
HIGHWAY ROBBERY IN BLOOMINGTON, IN! @UEAthletics Baseball erases a run from @HoosierBaseball . Snag of the year? http://t.co/GIo4CEFS1b

Yes, we’ve been baseball players fall over fences before to catch home runs. No, we never get tired of it.
After the game, Jyawook said: “It kinda felt like I got by Ray Lewis.”
Here’s what makes Jyawook’s catch even better: His team won the game 2-1 in 14 innings, so stealing a home run in such a manner was quite important to the outcome of the game.
