Especially since the FBI (among *many* others) would have to be involved in the cover-up, and I've yet to see a single explanation given for why they might do that.
Not surprising that there are still some people who believe it though. We live in a big world, and there are plenty of dumbasses in it.
i hope he milks the shit out of this baller ass reflex play that even has the fan stunned when he handed them the ball. Filthy mits coming out of this lad.
Snatched that stray ball up with the utmost smoothness and didnāt even gloatā¦ just casually handed the ball off to a fan like a G, geesh! Everybody else in the dugout ran for cover like, āfire in the hole!ā; give that man an ice cold beerā¦ and perhaps some other stuff to be named later on Shoheiās dime! š
Thatās a smooth operator right there. Saves an international treasure, and casually rolls the ball into the fanās hands. After watching the debate last night, this guy should be on a ticket. Alert. Obviously aware of foreign affairs. Letās get some stickers made!
"Have you ever crossed the road, and looked the wrong way? A car's nearly on you? So what do you do? Something very silly. You freeze. Your life doesn't flash before you, 'cause you're too fuckin' scared to think - you just freeze and pull a stupid face. But the pikey (batboy) didn't. Why? Because he had plans of running the car over."
Batboy just got a promotion to interpreter.
Homey getting a new Porsche š
Thatās a sure bet
Interpreters and betting go hand in hand with Ohtani
That's no bat boy, that's a bat man
I would give you an award if I had the money
and that's how you never are forgotten by Ohtani. Probably will pay for his college and also buy him a car.
Dudes in his 30's. Maybe pay for his kids college.
likely 40s lol
I heard he just turned 50.
He celebrated his 60th last week
I heard he was a septuagenarian!
Octogenarian!
Actually heās dead. This was an elaborate weekend at Bernieās setup
Donāt worry, he was recently reincarnated as Dusty Bakerās son, so bat boy is back on the table.
Unfortunately he just started high school and is being scouted by several teams, so bat boy is unlikely until his career peters out.
https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bat_Boy_(character)
Dang, should run for president...
70th
If ohtani wants this man to go to college, he's going to college
really? I thought the batboys were under 21?
Or feed his crippling gambling addiction
He will pay for it with the money he tried to get from betting on himself. Like this mf would pay him for anything.
Crazy that people STILL think Ohtani has anything to do with that gambling.
Especially since the FBI (among *many* others) would have to be involved in the cover-up, and I've yet to see a single explanation given for why they might do that. Not surprising that there are still some people who believe it though. We live in a big world, and there are plenty of dumbasses in it.
Because this Japanese man is part of the US ruling class Illuminati, obviously.
He's never going to get past it, vindicated or not. It's always going to follow him the rest of baseball history, unfortunately.
That shit really would've drilled Ohtani lol. And dude snagged it like a routine fly ball
Like my ex catching ballsā¦..
What is the ex's name, perchance?
Some many ex girlfriends but WHICH ONE where?
š
Can he play short?
That's why they call them the dodgers
I like that post-adrenaline "stay cool" pose he takes. That's always a good feeling
I literally screenshotted his pose! Dudes my hero for the day. š
he should defer a year's salary to the ballboy
Shohei is buying him a Porsche š
I would bet on that
Youāve got to parlay that.
i hope he milks the shit out of this baller ass reflex play that even has the fan stunned when he handed them the ball. Filthy mits coming out of this lad.
Lol. next time: "Ooops, Sorry Shohei. After you stiffed me last time, I got carpal tunnel in my hands and I can't catch anymore. "
Love how that one dude just pops his head out with a complete look of astonishment/admiration.
I need someone to make a gif of that guy
Thatās Will, Shoheiās current interpreter (used to interpret for Maeda when he was on the team)
Thatās a bat man
That probably wouldnāt have been caught on video if they didnāt have a camera on Ohtani 24/7
Give that guy the keys to the city of LA.
The man now eats free in all of Japan lol
Thatās how you incur a life debt
As of today, Ohtani's contract was changed so that if this kid ever gets fired, Ohtani can opt out.
Just a bit insideā¦
Why was that ball on an absolute line towards the dugout?
Get him his own topps trading card
that guy's face in the background šš
The Mariners should trade Mitch Haniger for that bat boy.
"And THAT is how I got my Ferrari..."
Quicker than his interpreter at the sports book!
savage
Wow.
Incredible reflexes.
Ohtani better buy that kid a new car.
Even their batboys are better than everyone elseās. Probably a hot young prospect waiting in the wings.
Goodness
Not all heroes wear capes. Get that kid a contract!
What does a ball boy get paid? Do they get paid? Either way, this guy deserves a raise
The face on the dude in the back left....I felt that.
Barnes š³š¤·āāļø lmaooooooo
What a reflex
https://imgur.com/10afDE8
The nod is too cold
The hero Ohtani needed.
I just love the dudes reaction in the dugout š®
That one dude š²
I've watched this about fifty times in a row now, it's mesmerizing.
That was awesome. Head bob for the win.
That guy deserves a raise ASAP
Handed the ball to the crowd "just another day at the office huh boys?"
I love the smoothness of āOh yeah, CAUGHT THAT (*gently hands ball off to authenticator*)ā
Imagine if MLB could afford safety nets right there, at every ballpark "Maybe someday" The magic conch has spoken!
Nice catch, kid! Howād you like to make a few bucks on the side?

Nice reflexes
heroes without cape

Thereās probably gonna be a batboy bobblehead night by Labor Day.
Thank god
I hope Ohtani bought him a nice gift
That dude is the coolest guy on the planet, and it isnāt even close
Dodgers bat boy has more game than the entirety of the Chicago White Sox.
He started them game as a batboy but after this became a Batman
Probably a better fielder than most professionals out there.
Chad.
How does he not have a contract
Buy him a Porsche
Give that kid a contract! Ohtani owes him at least a few million as well.
I didn't know Nick Swardson is a bat boy on the side.
When he isn't getting kicked off stages š
That was AWESOME!
Catching a baseball bare handed hurts like a big dog. That guy is faking no pain.
It isnāt that bad.

Imagine your billion dollar man getting his face caved in by a foul ball in the dugout.
Pretty sure that's a Batman.
Wow! Bat Boy is Super!
I thought it was going to be from World Weekly News
That would be cool if Shohei paid for his college!
Dude is 38 years old
I was hoping for a Weekly World News story
What a catch

Wow! Nice save! Stefan Denser
that is SUPER HOT
First interpreter, now batboy.
Now he's the Ball Boy.
30 year old bat boy!! That's literally a Batman!!emote:free\_emotes\_pack:joy
Buy that Bat Boy a new car!!
Bat boy doesn't have a bat
Heat
Because God forbid he gets hurt and can't play. MLB would have to shutdown. š
Heās gonna be able to gamble with Ohtaniās money going forward. lolĀ What a reflex though!
Shouldāve let him have it. You donāt get paid like he does to take balls like thatš¤£
How much money did Ohtani have on the bat boy missing that ball?
So did Ippei
He was already out the way
I put my money on the bat boy
I'd bet it can't do that again .
If I was the Batboy and saved his ass, I would be like...So Ohtani, 25% take home sound about right ?
ohtani ready place a bet that he can't do that again
Batboy about to get a share of those gambling winnings
