College baseball player goes airborne for amazing diving catch over wall in foul ground

The college baseball season is heading into postseason action with a number of teams competing in their conference tournaments across the country.
In the Missouri Valley Conference Tournament, one infield pulled off what is likely the play of the day and could be a contender for the catch of the year.
The play came courtesy of Cole Moore with Dallas Baptist University. It all started with what looked like a routine foul ball popup out of play and beyond the fence.
Fortunately, the venue featured a low wall and no stands beyond the wall past the dugouts. Moore took advantage of that, going airborne and soaring past the wall for the incredible diving catch in foul territory.
He definitely went with his best Superman impersonation in reeling in this catch:
