Royals Player Jumps Over Japanese Man With Ease

The video was filmed in 2002, and at that time, he would only have been about 21-years-old. Well, nearly six years have passed since then, but Gathright certainly hasn’t lost his leaping ability with his older age. In a spring training game between the Dodgers and Royals, Gathright was brought off the bench to replace Kansas City’s starting center fielder, David DeJesus. Facing Dodgers pitcher Hiroki Kuroda, Gathright knocked a chopper down the first base line that was fielded by Kuroda. The pitcher ended up going directly ...
