Another game and the Shotime, Shohei Ohtani has done it once again. He has broken a personal record this time. But this time, the record came with a blister on his hand. Due to the friction between the ball and the end of the fingers, pitchers are often prone to get blisters.
Considering that the Angels have a pretty hard shot to get into the playoffs, Ohtani should not have to take on so much pressure. And taking rest will help him to become an even better player.

Even though the ball might or might not have given blisters to the two-way all-star player, he managed to throw the fastest pitch of his MLB career.
Shohei Ohtani comes out of the game after calling out the trainers. It appears to be a blister.
Another dominant start against the best team in the American League comes to an abrupt end. Hope he’s ok.
