Shohei Ohtani had a Priceless Reaction to Striking Out Mike Trout for Final Out of WBC

This was awesome.

The 2023 World Baseball Classic had been so fun the past few weeks so it was only fitting that the final out came to two of baseball's best players - Shohei Ohtani and Mike Trout - squaring off in the final at-bat of a what was a great championship game between Japan and Team USA in Miami.

Seriously, that ending couldn’t have been written any better - the two Angels teammates went to a 3-2 count with two outs in one-run game in the top of the ninth before Ohtani got his Angels teammate swinging at strike three to give Japan a 3-2 win. 

Ohtani’s immediate reaction - throwing his glove and hat - was so good: 

What a moment. What a game. What a tournament.
