Shohei Ohtani and the Los Angeles Angels blew out the Detroit Tigers during last night's game. The score was 10-0, and the Angels were in control of the entire game. When games get this out of hand, position players typically come onto the pitch. The Tigers put in infielder Kody Clemens, who struck out Ohtani of all players.
Kody Clemens went onto the pitch for the Detroit Tigers in the bottom of the eighth inning. Clemens quickly got the first out by getting David Fletcher to ground out. Then, utility player Matt Thaiss hit a single to left field. Following this, Ohtani came up to the plate and struck out on a 1-2 pitch.

Perhaps Shohei Ohtani was mesmerized by the 68 MPH heater on the corner of the plate? No matter what it was, seeing Ohtani strikeout to a position player was hilarious. It is safe to say that Clemens was excited as he pumped his fist multiple times after the strikeout.
As soon as the video was posted on social media, MLB fans absolutely roasted Ohtani.
Regardless, Ohtani hit two home runs during last night's game against the Tigers. This completely negates the embarrassment at bat against infielder Kody Clemens. Ohtani now has 30 home runs this season, which puts him in the top five in the American League.
Ohtani is having yet another elite season. He is on pace to finish in at least top three in AL MVP voting this season.
Will Shohei Ohtani win his second AL MVP award in a row?

Shohei Ohtani has yet again proven that he can both pitch and hit at an elite level. Through 129 games at the plate this season, Ohtani is batting .266 with an .880 OPS. He also has 30 home runs, 20 doubles, and 82 RBIs, elite numbers in the American League.
On the mound, Ohtani has had his best season yet in Major League Baseball. Through 23 starts, Ohtani is 11-8 with just a 2.58 ERA. He also has 181 strikeouts in just 136 innings, which is top 10 in the MLB.
Shohei Ohtani has a legitimate case to be the American League MVP for the second time in a row. It is really a race between him and Aaron Judge of the New York Yankees.
