WATCH: Shohei Ohtani Obliterates Glove With Insane 109 Mph Hit in Los Angeles Angels vs Texas Rangers MLB Game

Los Angeles Angels star, Shohei Ohtani, continues to surprise everyone with his stunning performances. Just when fans think he has reached his peak, he puts on yet another show, leaving them speechless.

In search of a prominent win, Shohei and the Angels faced the Texas Rangers on Wednesday. Notably, while they tasted victory, Ohtani stole the show with his brilliance. In the ninth inning, Ohtani hit a single with so much power that it destroyed the second baseman, Andy Ibanez’s glove.

Ohtani amazed everyone

On Wednesday, Los Angeles Angels defeated the Rangers by 7-2. But the eye-catching moment was their star player, Shohei Ohtani’s single hit. Ohtani struck a single at 109 Mph and shattered Andy’s glove. Thrilled and shocked at Shohei’s intensity, Rengifo, who reached the third base, could not contain his laughter looking at the damaged glove.

Reacting to Ohtani’s performance, Los Angeles Angels manager, Joe Maddon, said, “In my mind’s eye that absolutely galvanizes the MVP Award. When you start breaking gloves, you’re the MVP.”

Los Angeles Angels might not have had the best season this year, but Ohtani has outclassed his counterparts, regardless. Unfortunately, he did not get the same support from the team, and yet again Los Angeles Angels will not appear in the post-season; They last qualified in 2014.

Why is Shohei Ohtani a front runner in the MVP race?

Los Angeles Angels’ Shohei Ohtani is said to be one in a trillion. The feats Ohtani has achieved are unbelievable yet true. For starters, Ohtani is one of the most versatile players in the history of MLB. No player has ever been part of the All-Star Game as a pitcher and a hitter.

Ohtani has made 1087 plate appearances, even more than legendary player Babe Ruth. Ohtani’s outings have defined the 2021 baseball season as a combination of what Roger Maris and Bob Gibson did in 1961 and 1968. Remarkably, no baseball player had hit more than nine home runs in a single season, while Ohtani has hit 44.

It’s a shame that Ohtani has not appeared in the post-season for the past four years. Do you think Ohtani will still continue with Los Angeles Angels after his contract expires in 2023?
