Los Angeles Angels

By now, we all know that Shohei Ohtani is the coolest baseball player in the sport’s history. What he can do both at the plate and on the mound is just ridiculous, and we’re all lucky to be living in a time where we get to watch him do incredible things just about every night.

What’s also great about Ohtani is that he can do some funny things, too. That was on display Wednesday night when he made a dramatic play on a ball his catcher threw to him. What was so cool about this routine moment in a baseball game? Well, Ohtani lost the ball in the sun but still made the catch.

He's just the best.
