He carries him in his pocket for good luck, there was a segment about it before the game

Good Lord, Jackson Chourio just walked to the outfield with his pocket mantis. He said he had "made friends" with the little dude.

Too busy being cool as hell, evidently.

Praying mantis is beside himself. Driving around downtown LA begging (thru texts) Chourio’s family for address to Jackson’s shoulder.
