Shohei Ohtani made his Angels debut last Friday (see GIF below), striking out two in 1 1/3 innings of work against the Brewers. And today Ohtani will also make his Angels debut against the Padres at the plate. Check out his first major league at bat below.
Shohei Ohtani is batting second and DHing for the first time this spring.

Here are some BP highlights of Shohei Otani below, also some of his home run derby moments from Japan, and even the time he hit the ball thru the roof. Wow.
Pretty awesome swing, can’t wait to see him rake in the big leagues, and let’s not forget, the guy is an ace pitcher. Seems like the word double threat applies.
