Actually, no, it isn't.

It's a Gatorade commercial.

Element 79's Swan Song for Gatorade Is Pure Gold - Advertising Age - Garfield's Ad Review

Quote:
The commercial takes us to a Triple A game between the Tacoma Rainiers and Fresno Grizzlies (televised because ... well ... Fresno). In the action, the Tacoma batter yanks a hanging curveball deep down the left field line. The ball curls foul into the corner and the Fresno leftfielder doesn't even make a move on it. But then appears the ball girl, who climbs up the wall in two bounds -- Jet Li-style -- and spins for a leaping catch.
...
It's certainly an amazing fabrication of an amazing play. The ball girl is a stuntwoman who was lifted by cables as she planted her feet against the wall, a sequence cut into actual game footage and enhanced with a bit of CGI and a perfectly natural-sounding announcer track.
