Dodgers bat boy saves Shohei Ohtani from foul ball with incredible catch

The Dodgers bat boy jumped into action during Wednesday's game against the White Sox to catch a sharply hit foul ball - and his reaction was priceless.
The ball appeared to be heading toward Shohei Ohtani, but fortunately, the bat boy has quick hands. The incredible catch was caught on video, which has since gone viral. READ MORE: abc7.com/post/dodgers-bat-boy...

He has a good catching technic as well. See how he keeps his hands open, fingers extended. That minimizes the chances of mallet finger injuries, which are caused by balls hitting the tip of a finger. I should know. I suffered two broken fingers that way.
