It's the bobbling of the ball that get's it scored an error not the leaping. Error's are a pointless stat... it's just a record of some schmucks opinion of what should have happened.
A guy could position himself poorly and only put in a token effort to get to a ball and he won't be charged an error but a guy who does those things correctly and bobbles the ball will. The result is the same (guy on 1st) but one guy get's punished with a error and the other guy doesn't.
