Absolutely! Especially when you read above in that link about how they did it without the Fx stuff. Just wires and arm-strength!! 

I absolutely loved the way her back arched as she stretched. It looked perfect for an athlete catching a ball like that!

The only real tip off for the "pulling" she kinda went up again after she made the last leap.

I love the commercial though.

Girls play awesome baseball.  Well, the ones who grew up in the late 20th Cent at least.
