Angels do-it-all star Shohei Ohtani is one of myriad major leaguers preparing for the upcoming World Baseball Classic instead of working out at his team’s spring training camp.
Ohtani, who will compete in the WBC for his native Japan, played in an exhibition on Monday for Team Japan against the Hanshin Tigers. In the third inning, Ohtani blasted a 420-foot, three-run homer to left field—from one leg.
It was one of two home runs on the day for the Angels star, who later hit a three-run homer in the fifth inning.
