Shohei Ohtani can absolutely do anything on the baseball field. That’s why he’s the best player in the game, of course, and the reigning AL MVP.
But he’s also pretty good at things off the diamond, too. And one of those things seems to be impressions. Because he put on an absolutely fantastic impression of NL Cy Young Award winner Jacob deGrom as he warmed up during a bullpen session.
Cameras caught Ohtahni doing his deGrom’s signature glove to the face look before tossing an absolute burner. He also got in deGrom’s signature leg kick, too.
Ohtani is clearly someone who appreciates details and we love to see it.
So, Shohei Ohtani copies DeGrom😍!!!!

If imitation is the best form of flattery, deGrom should be absolutely thrilled. MLB fans loved this, too. ESPECIALLY the deGrom fans out there.
