This kid is due for a raise after this play.

In the bottom of the second inning during the Oakland Athletics’ contest against the Tampa Bay Rays, Marcus Semien drove a sharply hit ball right toward the A’s dugout.

The A’s ball boy was on the case, as he quickly entered the frame and made a Derek Jeter-esque dive to prevent the ball from nailing one of Oakland’s pitchers.

He was congratulated by the A’s bullpen, and the fans gave him a brief ovation. He’s definitely the talk of the clubhouse right now.
