Watch: Dodgers batboy saves Shohei Ohtani from errant foul ball

Shohei Ohtani came inches away from disaster on Wednesday night, but a Los Angeles Dodgers batboy prevented what could have been an ugly situation.

Ohtani was standing in the dugout with a helmet on, waiting to hit during the Dodgers’ 4-0 win over the Chicago White Sox, when Enrique Hernandez ripped a foul ball toward the bench area. The ball was headed directly for Ohtani’s face, but a Dodgers bat boy was on his toes and caught it first.
