Shohei Ohtani is a unique two-way threat in the sport of baseball. This means he can pitch and smash the ball with an equal amount of perfection. On that note, when he threatens a rival player, the consequences might be ferocious. And something similar just so happened on Tuesday night. 

Shohei Ohtani is an all-round megastar for the Los Angeles Angels. A talent of his magnitude and diversity is undoubtedly an extraordinary find in baseball. He plays as an opening pitcher, and designated hitter and often also defends as an outfielder, creating a rare sight. The two-time All-Star Ohtani won the American League Rookie of the Year Award on his debut MLB season in 2016. 

The massive weight of Ohtani’s all-around performances made him the American League MVP last year. With 34 home runs and 213 strikeouts to his credit, Ohtani is a contender for the MVP honors yet again. The Angels are presently playing an away series against the Oakland Athletics. While at-bat, Ohtani got hit by a pitch, and so shared a word with the pitcher. 

Shohei Ohtani: Reminding the pitcher of what is to come 

Shohei Ohtani got hit on the right elbow while facing Athletics’ Seth Brown in Tuesday’s game. Ohtani was visibly in considerable pain and sat down holding his right hand. Brown walked up to check on Ohtani. Staring at Brown, Ohtani pointed out saying, “tomorrow” with a smile on his face. 

Ohtani’s ‘threatening’ remark was a reminder of his pitching duties against the Athletics in the next game. Interestingly, Brown is the first baseman for the Athletics. So he will most likely face Ohtani’s lightning-fast pitches. Therefore, Brown too replied back with a smile saying, “Don’t do that to me!” 

Jomboy Media posted the funny conversation on Twitter saying, “Shohei Ohtani says he’s gonna get his revenge.” 

A few fans replied to the interaction:

It is no wonder Shohei Ohtani is such a respected figure in and out of the ballpark, by both fans and fellow players of the league. 

How did the two teams fare? 

Both the Angels and the Athletics struggled throughout the season. Despite Ohtani’s consistent heroics, the Angels failed to make any impact. Whereas, the Athletics have had arguably one of their worst MLB campaigns ever. So, understandably, the two teams got eliminated from playoff contention long ago. The end of the regular season will hence wrap up both teams’ participation.
