For all of his heroics and superhuman qualities on the baseball diamond, one of Shohei Ohtani’s most impressive traits is his seemingly effortless ability to remain calm and collected at virtually all times. There’s hardly anything that fazes Ohtani, whether it be on the mound or in the batter’s box, and the care-free nature in which he plays the game is part of what makes him so special to watch.
That being said, the unflappable Ohtani was clearly a bit miffed Wednesday during his start against the Twins after he and catcher Dalton Rushing got their wires crossed early in the game. There was some noticeable miscommunication between Ohtani and Rushing in the second inning, resulting in a passed ball that scored Minnesota’s Tristan Gray.
