On June 27 (Korea Standard Time), there was a commotion in the series finale game against the Chicago White Sox at Guaranteed Rate Field in Chicago, Illinois.
Shohei Ohtani was preparing to take the batter's box in the dugout. At that time, a strong foul ball hit by Kike Hernandez flew directly into Ohtani. It was in desperate crisis. However, Javier Herrera (38) was sitting in front of Ohtani and caught the ball with his bare hands through animal reflexes. If Herrera had not caught him, Ohtani could have been hit by a foul ball.

MLB.COM said, "The ball boy saved Ohtani's life."

Herrera remained calm as if nothing had happened, and Ohtani thanked Herrera with a surprised look on his face.

Herrera was surrounded by reporters before the San Francisco Giants game on Tuesday. Herrera was quoted as saying calmly, "I just did what I had to do."
In response, Ohtani posted a picture on his Instagram with the caption "My Hero."

Herrera guarding Ohtani was shown on a large screen at Dodger Stadium in the game against the Arizona Diamondbacks on Sunday. Spectators applauded. 안전놀이터

And Ohtani reportedly presented Herrera with 27.5 centimeters of shoes.

According to Japanese media, Herrera said, "I became a celebrity now. I have no choice but to go to Japan. I will go to Japan in November or December of the offseason. I wonder if she will remember me then, too."

Ohtani had presented a car to Mrs. Joe Kelly, who had conceded No. 17.
