Bally Sports Ohio broadcaster Jim Day interviewed the dad, Jacob Kingsley, alongside his wife Jordan and son Shepherd.
“(Shepherd) probably didn’t even know it was happening, but this will be a great memory to share with him,” Jacob Kingsley said. “It’s his first Reds game, so we have the certificate there too and so it’ll be awesome.”
Jordan Kingsley said she had been reminding her husband to look out for foul balls all game, making sure their son wouldn’t get hit.
“He took the job seriously,” Jordan Kingsley said. “Baby’s happy, I’m happy and I’m just impressed.”
The couple said their friends and family were texting them as soon as he caught the ball.
“Definitely some bragging rights there, too,” Jacob Kingsley said.
