MLB | Protecting from being hit

[@darrienscott7048]

The best sideline catches ive ever seen have been mostly ball girls. Fast reflexes.

@Facts Don't care about your feelings nice.

[@mochiyeosang1908]

softball players generally have faster reaction time. only milliseconds though, and just from hitting a 60 mph pitch

[@karen_3]

They’re almost all softball players. So yeah I would hope it’s pretty fast

[@flymyguy1841]

Thank you for including all the slow-mo shots as well. Let’s us see exactly how impressive these plays really are. Much appreciated!

[@Jycatgc6282]

That clip at 1:47 on Dusty Baker’s son or grandson shouldn’t be on the field at that age. I remembered watching the game on tv & was a pretty scary 😦 moment. JT Snow grabbed the kid on time. Probably Snow’s best moment for being a hero on the field.

[@bonnie.duncan]

that’s dusty’s son and after that happened they changed the rules so now bat boys / girls have to be at least 14 years old...i was at that game and dusty knew he was going to be in trouble for that one.

[@x77Flip77x]

Love seeing the little man patting him on the back. That was a cute moment.

[@2themoon863]

And that little kid came out with a lineup card during 2022 spring training-along with Dusty Baker from the other dugout. A REAL cool moment!

[@nbodymike]

He is in minor leagues playing baseball now. I got his baseball card

We Australians just do it and don't bat an eye. Go look up some of crickets crowd catches and best catches as we don't use Mits unless your a keeper.

[@27zabo]

Shows the importance of the ball boy/girl, they save more faces than you think...

[@LucianDevine]

For sure! That ball can be a rocket coming off the bat, and 1 person on each foul line is way cheaper than massive nets extending the full length of both walls.

[@jmachatch6696]

I remember watching that game and the camera changes to catch Snow crossing the plate and then grabbing a little boy and my mind was like What did I just see???

[@MacguffinsTV]

The pitchers catching or fielding these balls smoked up the middle is so impressive. The speed at which even groundballs to deep in field travels is crazy fast, so being able to react to an even shorter distance is amazing.

[@justwait9822]

[@bp_jlfan2020]

What was that?

[@vinnygi]

That play has always really pissed me off. What the heck was that little kid doing there in the first place? It’s borderline child endangerment. I know he’s the manager’s son, but an MLB dugout and field is no place for a kid that young.

[@SurgingSpecs]

@@vinnygi he was their bat boy at the time. MLB changed the rule so bat boys had to be at least 14 after this happened. Also Darren’s in his senior year at Cal now. Yeah, we gettin’ old.

[@vinnygi]

@@SurgingSpecs sorry, i wasn’t clear. I know that they changed the rule after this. I was commenting on the fact that as a parent, why did Dusty Baker allow his son to be put in that situation. I don’t remember ever seeing a bat boy that young before or after this incident.

[@TardRepellent]

2:21 look how he tucks it like he's ready to fight whoever wants to take it from him. he wasn't protecting anything he wanted that bat.

[@mr.tallman3030]

I wouldnt blame him, because getting a major league bat is way too cool to give up

[@TardRepellent]

@@mr.tallman3030 I agree it would be cool but my point was that he was prepared to hurt someone to ensure he got the bat. the opposite of protecting people.

[@mr.tallman3030]

@@TardRepellent why would you prepare to hurt someone over a bat ;-; he just didn’t want someone to grab it like some people did lol

[@robertfan332]

Til this day I don't know how Neo avoided that bullet after it left the bat.

[@swskitso]

If you watch it enough you should see that while he did not get hit had he not made that awkward move the ball would have passed behind him. He put himself in danger trying to avoid danger.

These ball girls and boys should get an invite to try outs every year. They have proven themselves as great catchers at least.

[@dani3lru1z]

Shawn Cunningham only caught a slow moving bat. It's the man in red that's the real hero. He used the force to show down the bat that it wouldn't cause any damage. You are the hero we deserve, but not the one we need right now.

[@rockstahh5708]

He's the one we need but don't deserve

[@taurnguard]

6:43 The father stopped the bat from hitting the boy in the forehead; but, when the dad stopped it, the bat spun around the dad's arm and nailed the kid anyway in the back of the head. Kid can't catch a break and dad can't catch a bat.

[@nicholasmarano5250]
