Los Angeles Angels pitcher and batter Shohei Ohtani proved that he is a force to be reckon with after pulling a two-way feat in two nights.
Ohtani had a great offensive game on Tuesday. The athlete hit two home runs and drove in eight runs against the Royals.
The Angels lost to the Royals 12-11, but Ohtani came back the next night to pull another career-high.
The Japanese baseball player had a career-high 13 strikeouts against the Houston Astros in April, but he struck out 13 Royals at the Angels Stadium on Wednesday.

On Tuesday and Wednesday, he became the first baseball player in American League and National League history to have at least eight runs and 10 strikeouts in the same game.
Phil Nevin said that Ohtani put the Angels on his back. It was amazing. I contemplated taking him out after the seventh but he was adamant that he was his own. A performance by him.
Ohtani gave up two hits and retired 23 of the 24 hitters he faced on Wednesday.

The "WOW" factor is still there, Merrifield said. He is the only one doing what he is doing. It's fun to share the field with a player like that.

People on social media can't get enough of Igarashi.
