When you bring your glove to the bleachers of a Major League Baseball game, the plan is to put it to good use. Hopefully a ball comes your way, but the odds are not likely. That is, unless you’re a professional ‘Ballhawk’. This was the case for Greg, an avid baseball fan who caught Shohei Ohtani’s 422-foot home run in the Angels 7-1 win over the Blue Jays on Friday.

Greg, 31, is no stranger to leaving a ballpark without having tracked down a baseball.
