Video: Dodgers Batboy Makes The Catch Of The Year

06/27/2024 09:33 AM

This might sound crazy, but the best catch of the 2024 MLB season belongs to the batboy for the Los Angeles Dodgers.

During the Dodgers' 4-0 win over the White Sox on Wednesday night, Kike Hernández hit a foul ball that was heading straight into Los Angeles' dugout. 

Dodgers superstar Shohei Ohtani was standing right in the danger zone when this foul ball was coming in hot. Luckily for him, the batboy stepped in and nonchalantly snagged the ball. 

Luckily for those who weren't at the game, this moment was caught on camera. It didn't take long for people to call the batboy for the Dodgers a true hero. 

After all, he legitimately saved Ohtani from getting rocked by a foul ball.

As you'd expect, the MLB community is loving this clip of the Dodgers' batboy. Some fans are even saying he deserves a raise for keeping Ohtani safe. 

"This is the coolest clip you could have of yourself of all time," one person wrote.

Another person said, "If Ohtani does not deposit 500k into that kids account by noon…."

"He needs a raise," a fan added. 

The Dodgers will be back in action this Friday against the Giants. 

Hopefully, the Los Angeles batboy doesn't have to make any ridiculous catches from the dugout during that game.
