During the Dodgers’ 4-0 victory over the White Sox on Wednesday, a bat boy made a remarkable catch that prevented a foul ball from striking Shohei Ohtani in the dugout. The incident took place at Guaranteed Rate Field in Chicago and could have resulted in a potential injury for the star player.

 

With his right hand resting on his right leg on the dugout steps and his left arm leaning on the guardrail, the bat boy, wearing No. 94, quickly sprung into action. As the foul ball came hurtling towards Ohtani, the bat boy swiftly raised his hands, managing to secure the ball mere inches from the player.

Following the catch, Ohtani approached the bat boy, exchanging words of gratitude or acknowledgment. The Dodgers organization can certainly breathe a sigh of relief, as they have already been dealing with the absence of key players such as Mookie Betts and Yoshinobu Yamamoto.
