In full sprint, Rangers Minor Leaguer Eric Jenkins made a catch, tumbled over the wall and stuck the landing
Eric Jenkins is a 21-year-old outfield prospect in the Rangers organization who currently plays for the Down East Wood Ducks, Texas' Class A affiliate in the Carolina League.
So far this season, Jenkins is hitting .250/.301/.338 for the Wood Ducks, but it's his defense that has everybody talking at the moment.
On Sunday, a local sports anchor/reporter named Alex Turner uploaded this absolutely ridiculous video of Jenkins tracking a fly ball, charging over toward the left-field wall, making the grab, tumbling over the fence with a half-cartwheel move and firing the ball back toward the field. And he made it look like a routine play, too:
