Shohei Ohtani is the coolest baseball player ever and if you need more proof of that then just look at what he did Tuesday night against the White Sox—Ohtani struck out 10 batters while picking up the win on the mound and he also hit two home runs in the Angels’ 4-2 victory. 

His first homer (which made an incredible sound) came in the bottom of the first when he hit a 418-foot blast into the seats in right field. That was his league-leading 27th home run of the year and it was an absolute no-doubter.
