Toronto Blue Jays outfield prospect Dalton Pompey has had quite the season, advancing through three levels of minor-league ball, establishing himself as the club's top position player prospect, and eventually earning a September big-league call-up, all the tender age of 21.

Starting in center field against the Seattle Mariners Monday night, Pompey got a chance to flash some of the skills - including speed, instincts, athleticism - that made him such a promising member of the Blue Jays system while making this jaw-dropping catch:

Pompey had himself a decent day at the plate too, going 2-for-5 with a run scored in a 14-4 Blue Jays romp over the Mariners.
