This Man's Incredible Arm Just Saved a Young Boy From Having the Worst Day Ever

It's every man for himself at Spring training, apparently — unless you're this man with the giant, life-saving limb and superhuman reflexes pictured in the above photos. Tribune-Review photographer Christopher Horner snapped the incredible images of this mystery man throwing his arm in front of a young boy — who was distracted by his cell phone — to protect him from a flying bat during this past weekend's Braves and Pirates matchup in Lake Buena Vista, FL. Things could have ended very badly for the boy after the bat slipped out of Pittsburgh outfielder Danny Ortiz's grip, but thanks to this everyday superhero — who is the only person pictured who isn't ducking in fear — it looks like he's going to be OK.

Seems like the action in the stands was much more exciting than the actual on-field play, no?
