Yes from the angle they show you, but that is not the angle the umpire likely sees. He is going into the stands and I would not be surprised if he was blocked or straightlined with fans. But you cannot rule on a catch even if he sees everything before he goes into the stands and not look for the ball. I get that these are great athletes and the umpire probably felt he has seen these spectacular catches before, but he still should prove it to you by showing you the ball.
