Shohei Ohtani Couldn’t Zipper His Jacket, and MLB Fans Had So Many Jokes

Los Angeles Angels star Shohei Ohtani seemingly can do it all on the baseball field. 

He can hit ridiculous home runs to all different parts of the park, no matter where a pitch is thrown.

He also can throw pitches with so much movement that make professional hitters look silly trying to make any type of contact with them. 

By now, it’s difficult to think of anything Ohtani can’t do. 

Well, on Monday we finally saw him struggle with something a lot of us have probably struggled with in the past—putting on a jacket. 

This poor guy got to first base at Fenway Park on Monday and put on a jacket because he was pitching in the game, and this happened:

Finally, the coolest man in baseball showed us that he’s not perfect.

MLB fans loved it: 

This is the first recorded evidence that he's human. Makes all the other stuff even more impressive. https://t.co/o7Fs4gClqV

When this happens to me... I throw the jacket away. Ohtani finds a way to fix it. https://t.co/2vl5JwGrXk

Despite the wardrobe malfunction, Ohtani’s numbers remain superhuman. Entering Monday’s game, he was slashing .288/.383/.500 at the plate with an 0.47 ERA in 19 innings pitched.
