He could just be the one.
Houston Astros pitcher Collin McHugh dodged an online attack that hit his face as he exited The Matrix in Tuesday night's game against Oakland Athletics.

McHugh delivered a fastball to Kendry Morales, the first baseman of Athletics, who sent the ball straight to the diamond. McHugh leaned back as the ball seemed to pass directly over his throat and fell on his back, while the ball bounced back to second base for a double play ending in round.
Social media likened McHugh's quick reflexes to Keanu Reeves in the 1999 movie The Matrix. In the film, Neo avoids a hail of bullets leaning back, without falling, in a slow motion sequence.
But McHugh was not hit by the tight decision, allowing only two hits in six scoreless innings, scoring five and beating two batters.

The Astros then crashed the Athletics 9-1 with the help of a grand slam Alex Bregman and a two-point homer of former Oakland veteran Josh Reddick.
