Just a casual best-catch-of-all-time kind of day.

We are pleased to present to you the new coolest 14-year-old in America: this Junior League World Series player who just made the best catch in JLWS history.

Jack Regenye of Pennsylvania leapt over the outfield fence to catch a would-be home run in his team's game against Chinese Taipei, flipping upside down and popping up with the ball still in his possession.

Take a look at the insane catch below, and see a Regenye highlight before he's drafted by the Yankees in two weeks.

It's time to renegotiate your contract, kid.

The catch was first called an out, then the ruling was changed to call it a home run, and finally, it was switched back to an out. We will update this post if the umps decide to change their minds again.

The awesome play is already beginning to net Regenye attention from the sports world.

Meanwhile, in the Little League World Series, North Carolina's team just threw the 5th perfect game in series history.

...What has happened to the children? How are they so good?
