On a regular basis, Angels star Shohei Ohtani makes the game look effortless. So it’s only fitting that he added a little bit of casual style to his latest feat of strength.
In his first plate appearance against the Rangers on Wednesday, Ohtani clobbered a high fastball from Jon Gray well over the fence in center field, extending his American League home run lead with his 42nd blast of the season. In doing so, he swung so hard that his helmet fell off his head—and, rather than pick it up, he began his home run trot without it.
Just look at that lettuce flowing in the breeze.
