OAKLAND, Calif. -- Shohei Ohtani continues to make history.
The Los Angeles Angels two-way superstar took the mound Wednesday in the team's final game of the season needing to complete one inning to become the first player in the World Series era, which started in 1903, to qualify for the league leaders as a hitter and a pitcher in the same year.
Ohtani had already blown past the 502 plate appearances necessary as a hitter. With his five innings thrown as the starting pitcher against the Oakland Athletics, he logged 166 innings pitched, surpassing the threshold of 162 innings.
