Shohei Ohtani is the coolest guy in Major League Baseball. He can literally do it all for the Angels – both pitching and hitting – and it’s just a shame we likely won’t see him in the postseason for quite some time because he plays for the Angels.
But whatever, we can still marvel at all the amazing things he can do on a baseball field. Take what he did Sunday in Houston, for instance. Astros pitcher Luis Garcia threw a pretty good curve ball but it wasn’t good enough because Ohtani was able to reach out and barely get a hold if it with one hand… and send it 388 feet over the wall in right field for a homer.
Check this out:
Always keep watch. Eventually the aliens will slip up and do something unhuman a little too nonchalantly. Then we'll know. 👽🛸
Here the lifeform we call "Shohei Ohtani" forgets himself and hits this ball one-handed for a 388-foot home run. 😮 pic.twitter.com/2RidpYSaEH

Wowzers.
That was his 34th home run on the season and comes just a day after he picked up his 12th win on the mound. Dude is special.
Twitter had reactions.
Jesus, Garcia executed that curve perfectly, got Ohtani to offer at it with a lunging, one-handed swing & it still went 388 feet. https://t.co/xBlnCaibTU

How did Shohei hit that out? Like one handed, off balance golf swing. Who cares- he isn’t human. Yay- run support for Tuck!

Sometimes pretty good pitches still get hit.

Giving “throwing hands” a new meaning.
