Los Angeles Angels phenom Shohei Ohtani continues to create fans everywhere he goes; this time against the Detroit Tigers. On this occasion, however, it does not come from a brilliant play on the field, but rather a sign of great sportsmanship off the field.Late in their blowout defeat to the Angels, the Tigers put infielder Kody Clemens on the mound to preserve their bullpen for a more winnable opportunity. Kody Clemens, the son of legendary pitcher Roger Clemens, recorded the first strikeout of his career. The strikeout came against none other than Shohei Ohtani. Clemens immediately saved the ball, and Ohtani was nice enough to sign it after the game.The Detroit Tigers posted a clip of the strikeout along with an image of the signed ball to Twitter.Detroit Tigers@tigersGame respect game. twitter.com/i/web/status/1…2473353Game respect game. twitter.com/i/web/status/1… https://t.co/YkkZP0Ie9dThis is one of those special moments that can make everyone appreciate how beautiful baseball is.Kathleen O'Bryan@klobryan1@tigers @kodyclem Baseball can be so cool.#DetroitRoots7@tigers @kodyclem Baseball can be so cool.#DetroitRootsOhtani continues to prove that he is the perfect face of MLB, for both his talent and his persona.Fan Of Buff Coach Dan Campbell Team@motowncatscrown@tigers @kodyclem It should be illegal to be as cool as Shohei Ohtani.76@tigers @kodyclem It should be illegal to be as cool as Shohei Ohtani.This is a memory and souvenir that Kody Clemens will cherish forever.aj armento@ajarmento03@tigers @kodyclem Wait he actually got ohtani to sign that ball thats awesome so happy for clemens. #DetroitRoots22@tigers @kodyclem Wait he actually got ohtani to sign that ball thats awesome so happy for clemens. #DetroitRootsNot only was it the first strikeout for Cody Clemens, who is not a pitcher, it was against one of the best players of the generation.Launirose@launirose@tigers @kodyclem On his first strikeout, he strikes out the Unicorn, the Babe Ruth, hell yeah that’s worthy of keeping.191@tigers @kodyclem On his first strikeout, he strikes out the Unicorn, the Babe Ruth, hell yeah that’s worthy of keeping.Shohei Ohtani is one of the most likable players that the game has ever seen. In addition to his dominance on the field, he is a tremendous person off of it. Being able to laugh off being struck out by an infielder and even help them celebrate the moment requires tremendous character.Gavin@gervgavvShoei Ohtani is my new favorite player twitter.com/tigers/status/…Detroit Tigers@tigersGame respect game. twitter.com/i/web/status/1…2418Game respect game. twitter.com/i/web/status/1… https://t.co/YkkZP0Ie9dShoei Ohtani is my new favorite player twitter.com/tigers/status/…HVT@redsoxandstuffI literally couldn’t love Shohei Ohtani more twitter.com/tigers/status/…Detroit Tigers@tigersGame respect game. twitter.com/i/web/status/1…8419Game respect game. twitter.com/i/web/status/1… https://t.co/YkkZP0Ie9dI literally couldn’t love Shohei Ohtani more twitter.com/tigers/status/…Mathis@JasonMathisLiveShohei Ohtani is awesome.
