Give this bat boy some of that owed to Shohei Ohtani. A Dodgers bat boy provided the save of the season Wednesday in Chicago when he caught a rocketed foul ball headed Ohtanis way in the dugout during the Dodgers 4-0 win over the White Sox. Said bat boy made it seem easy while he saved the NL MVP favorite from Reggie Perry Jersey a potential injury, shifting from casual mode to defense mode rather nonchalantly. Ohtani moves as the ball comes his way and the batboy catches the rocket. @JomboyMedia/X The individual stood on the dugout steps at Guaranteed Rate Field, with his right hand perched on his right leg stationed atop the steps and his left arm chilling on the guardrail. Explore More Then, he saved the day. With Ohtani stationed behind him, the bat boy, wearing No. 94, threw his hands up and somehow caught this screamer as the two-time AL MVP threw up his hands behind him. The smooth catch by the batboy. @JomboyMedia/X In his Action Hero moment, he stood with the ball in his hands, his lips perched as if he was saying ooh and his right leg elevated like he had started his windup. As the folks around him checked to see what happened, this hero casually turned and handed the ball to a fan in the stands. Ohtani speaks to the bat boy after the catch. @JomboyMedia/X The seven-second clip circulating the internet ended with Ohtani walking toward the individual and seemingly saying something to him a Thank you would work and the bat boy turning to the star. The Dodgers certainly should be thankful for this bat boy since the Dodgers are already without stars and Yoshinobu Yamamoto, and an Ohtani injury would just add to the cruelty. Ohtani is the at with -140 odds in the aftermath of Betts injury, ahead of the Phillies Bryce Harper at +200, while putting together yet another stellar season. The bat boy hands the ball to a fan. His leadoff homer Wednesday set a Dodgers record for consecutive games with at least one RBI with 10, , and hes slashing .322/.402/.643 with a 1.055 OPS after a 1-for-2 day with two walks. He leads the majors in batting average and is second in slugging percentage and OPS, trailing only in both categories. There have been a lot of opportunities with runners on base, Ohtani said via an interpreter, per MLB.com. All Im trying to do is have a quality at-bat, so I think its the result of that. Shohei Ohtani has notched an RBI in 10 straight games. USA TODAY Sports via Reuters Con If Ohtani does indeed pick up his third MVP awards this year, perhaps hell thank the bat boy who saved him from potential harm. Timothe Luwawu-Cabarrot Jersey
