Ohtani had quite the performance during the Angels’ doubleheader against the Tigers.
Shohei Ohtani is the greatest baseball player in the game today. He made the AL All-Star team as both a hitter and pitcher, touts a 3.43 ERA and 1.070 OPS, and has mashed a league-leading 38 home runs. Atlanta Braves first baseman Matt Olson sits in a distant second with 32 dingers. Ohtani’s 1.070 OPS is also tops across MLB, 80 points higher than Freddie Freeman’s runner-up, .990 clip.
On Tuesday morning and afternoon, Ohtani showcased the entirety of his distinct prowess as the Angels faced the Detroit Tigers in a doubleheader. To open the two-game slate, Ohtani spun nine innings of one-hit ball with eight strikeouts, three walks and zero runs for the first complete game shutout of his MLB career and the Angels won, 6-0.
