Shohei Ohtani Displays Anger at Questionable Umpiring Call

Umpires have been under fire this season as the blunders continue to build up.

During a game against the Detroit Tigers, the umpire called a low and away pitch that clearly looked like a ball as a strike. This left the Angels’ star upset and in disbelief.

Ohtani expressed this anger straight away, giving the umpire the side eye at the plate. But what really caught attention was his uncharacteristic outburst while entering the dugout. In a video shared by Angels TopPlays on Twitter, the two-way phenom seems to be shouting at the umpire in anger while entering the dugout.?

In a Tweet, Angels TopPlays said, ?I?d run through a wall for pissed off Shohei Ohtani?. To further add to the irony, Angels manager Phil Nevin was trying to keep the situation calm. Usually, he would lash out at the officials for bad decisions. But Ohtani reversed the roles of this incident. Luckily, the Angels managed a 7-6 win in extra innings.
