In the MLB, an outfielder can go as high up on the wall as they want to, so long as their feet land in the playing field after the catch.

"He totally used his math and science skills to calculate? the speed and velocity of the ball. Then used his ninja skills to sneak up on the ball and snatch it."

What about the guys who jump over and fall into to the crowd, but then come up with the ball? Why would those count? I really don't know much about baseball rules (I was a lacrosse player)

(1) Catcher catches a foul pop-up on the field of play, and momentum carries him into the dugout. While in the dugout the catcher drops the ball in attempting to throw it.
Ruling: Legal catch. "Time" is called and all runners awarded two bases from the time the catcher dropped the ball (time of throw).
(2) Catcher catches a foul pop-up on the field of play, and momentum carries him into the dugout. While in the dugout he falls down.
Ruling: Legal catch. "Time" is called and all runners awarded one base from the time of the pitch.
(3) Catcher catches a foul pop-up on the field of play, and momentum carries him into the dugout. While in the dugout the catcher falls down, then drops the ball.
Ruling: Foul ball.
(4) Catcher makes a diving catch and slides into the dugout after catching the ball. The catcher ends up on the floor of the dugout, face-down, with possession of the ball.
Ruling: Legal catch. "Time" is called and all runners awarded one base from the time of the pitch.
(5) Bases loaded, one out. Fielder catches ball and momentum carries him into the stands. May the fielder throw for a play?
Ruling: No. "Time" is called and all runners advance one base.

The fielder is confined to the limits of the playing field, but may reach over any fence, railing, or any line of demarcation to make a catch. The fielder may also jump on top of a railing marking the boundary of the field or on any tarp that may be on foul ground in order to make a play. (See also Section 8.1 [Legal Catch].)

8.1 LEGAL CATCH
The following guidelines shall apply in ruling whether the ball was or was not caught:
..........
A fielder may not jump over any fence, railing, or rope marking the limits of the playing field in order to catch the ball. A fielder may (1) reach over such fence, railing, or rope to make a catch;
(2) fall over the same after completing the catch; (3) jump on top of a railing or fence marking the boundary of the field to make a catch; or (4) climb onto a fence or on a field canvas and catch the ball. In all four cases the catch would be legal, as dictated by the best judgment of the umpire.
The same restrictions apply to a foul ball descending into a stand. A catcher or fielder may not jump into a stand to catch such a ball, but reaching into the stand and making the play is permitted.

so that clarifies and shows that it is in fact 100% legal



I'm pretty sure the asian dude from Major League 2 makes a similar catch (but that is a movie)
