By José Rodríguez, 247sports.news

Erick Hernández Dwarfs Previous Record with 4,626 Touches

Erick Hernández, has made history by touching a baseball ball 4,626 times with his head in just 35 minutes. This colossal achievement took place at the Copacabana Hotel in Havana, as reported by the official Cuban News Agency (ACN).

The Challenge of Baseball Five

Unlike a standard football, the rubber ball used in Baseball Five is significantly smaller, making control much more difficult. Hernández, a 59-year-old veteran record-breaker, described the task as “a completely different experience” that demands “absolute attention” to avoid losing control of the ball.

It’s not the same thing to dominate a conventional ball compared to a baseball Five, which is smaller, faster, and less predictable in its bounce. – Erick Hernández

Future Records in His Sights

With over 30 world records under his belt, including the 2005 Guinness Record for most head touches in a minute, Hernández is no stranger to the limelight. He plans to adapt this innovative practice to a seated position and attempt to rekindle his football ball head-touch record.

“It’s a tribute to Cuban baseball players,” Hernández said after his third record of the year, “They’ve given us so much joy with their world titles, and I wanted to honor our national sport with a record worthy of their achievements.”
