“It’s otherworldly.” As he struck out 11 and went 2-for-4 at the plate, Shohei Ohtani dominated at Fenway Park in yet another display of just how special he is. StephApstein with more:
Every aspect of the two-way player’s boundless skills were on display both on the mound and at the plate in the Angels’ 8–0 win.BOSTON — Shohei Ohtani had already hit a ball 109 miles an hour and thrown 81 of his 99 pitches for strikes, so when he strode to the plate in the eighth inning of perhaps the greatest game ever played here, he lined a fastball off the Green Monster so hard he knocked his own number off the wall.
Then Ohtani got to work, and he left Ruth behind. A year after he won the American League MVP award by unanimous vote, Ohtani, 27, has a chance to be even better. His offensive numbers are down, as are just about everyone else’s, but his command on the mound is the best of his career. He leads the league in strikeouts per nine innings, with 14.1, and he has walked only five men this year.
In fact, Ohtani became only the second starting pitcher to record a hit at Fenway since the implementation of the designated hitter in 1973.
