Shohei Ohtani continues to be the coolest player in Major League Baseball, and what he did over the weekend only backed up that assessment even more.
What was wild about this moment from the Angels’ game against the Royals on Sunday was that he didn’t need to hit a ridiculous home run or throw pitches that looked like frisbees bending in the wind.
All he did on this play was hit a grounder to the right side of the infield that should have been an out. It wasn’t, though, because Ohtani showed off impressive speed down the basepath and got an infield single.

Insane that a guy who is one of the top hitters AND one of the top pitchers can get down the line like THIS! 😮pic.twitter.com/tYCaBmPki6

How is it possible for 1 guy to be in the top 1% of throwing, hitting and running? We’re never gonna see anyone like Ohtani again. https://t.co/HdRRKfTksq
