Shohei Ohtani is currently on top of the baseball world after leading Japan to a World Baseball Classic championship, so of course fans are starstruck when they see him in person. That reaction appears to be the same for his international opposition as well.
Before he was named the WBC MVP, Ohtani and Japan faced Australia in pool play, where they dominated in the 7–1 win. This is where Australian pitcher Todd Van Steensel was completely in awe when he Ohtani walk to the plate. During the game, no one would know he was so intimidated, but the hurler posted a hilarious video in which he narrated Ohtani’s entire at-bat against him.
