Shohei Ohtani Shrugs Off Cracked Fingernail For Two Homers, 10 Strikeouts
1 year agoLos Angeles Angels designated hitter/starting pitcher Shohei Ohtani (fingernail) found another way to turn heads in Tuesday’s 4-2 win over the Chicago White Sox. The 28-year-old saw his start cut slightly short by a cracked fingernail, but still managed 10 strikeouts over six and one-third innings of one-run ball before exiting for his seventh win of the year. The nick wasn't enough to remove Ohtani from the lineup as a batter; the two-way showstopper also went 3-for-3, smashing two solo home runs with one coming after the setback in the seventh frame. We're simply running out of words to describe the spectacle of what Ohtani is accomplishing on a daily basis. The AL MVP front runner boasts an MLB-best 28 homers, 64 RBI, .654 SLG, and 1.040 OPS with 11 stolen bases over 306 at-bats. Ohtani also sports a 3.02 ERA, 1.04 WHIP, and 127:39 K:BB across 95 1/3 innings. Simply amazing.
