Play at the plate

Here's a cool baseball play from the state of Texas. A runner rounds third base for a play at the plate. The throw is perfect. The runner slides. The catcher goes to tag the runner, who at the last second, comes to a dead stop (mid-slide) and jumps over the tag. The umpire is in the perfect position to call him safe. As the catcher initially went to tag him, he must have wondered where he went.
