You most definitely see baseball players lay out all the time, and that is a better comparison here than a sprinter.
The ball was up slightly and out in front of him, if his last step would have been part of the process of getting his body more parallel to the ground with his hands out in front he absolutely could have gotten his hands on it. It would have been an amazing catch, yes, but he had an opportunity to do so, and pulled up on that last step instead of going for it.

Baseball players lay out for first base "all the time"? That would seem to be a perfect time to get somewhere more quickly.
