Dodgers' ball boy Javier Herrera caught a flying ball barehanded, saving Shohei Ohtani and gaining social media fame. Ohtani dubbed him 'my hero' with nearly 50 journalists attending Herrera's interview. The video went viral, showing Herrera's impressive reflexes as he calmly caught the ball inches away from Ohtani, who expressed admiration. Despite the ball-boy's joke about using lotion to avoid pain, he humbly stated he was just doing his job and received no reward for the heroic act. Herrera, previously known for a stumble in 2016, declared himself a hero this time, as the video has accumulated over 6.5 million views with Herrera watching it around 100 times.
