Angels superstar Shohei Ohtani was on the mound during Tuesday’s clash against the Nationals, and amid yet another dominant outing from Los Angeles’s right-hander, home plate umpire Alfonso Marquez couldn’t help but wonder if the 28-year-old was abiding by the rules.
Ohtani, who uses the PitchCom system to call his game on the mound, was questioned by Marquez as to whether he had a foreign substance located under his armpit.
When approached by Marquez, Ohtani quickly humbled the suspicious umpire by showing him the PitchCom system, which just so happened to be located around his armpit.
