Shohei Ohtani has become the face of Major League baseball. Known for his two-way playing style, the Japanese star has been a blessing for baseball. Even though the LA Angels are struggling in the American League, Ohtani has been one of the best performers this season.

It has been only four years since Ohtani made his MLB debut. And the Angels’ two-way phenom has already established himself as one of the best players in baseball history. Though Ohtani does not get enough notice for his off-the-field activities, he once made headlines for buying a brand new Tesla car.

Being the best MLB player for over 2-3 years, Ohtani chose a top-model Tesla car to drive into the city. Notably, Tesla is one of the biggest manufacturers of electric cars. And none other than the world’s richest man, Elon Musk, owns the vehicle company.

Elon Musk sent “heart” to Shohei Ohtani for driving a Tesla car

Seems like everybody is a fan of Shohei Ohtani. And why not? Whether it is from the plate or the mound, Ohtani has been a beast for the Angels. When Ohtani bought a Tesla Model X car, the company owner, Elon Musk, could not resist and sent love to the two-way phenom.

Taking to Twitter, Hiro Mizuno (A Tesla board member) shared a video, in which one can see Ohtani driving a brand new Tesla car. The video is going viral on the internet.

He captioned the video, “Major League sensation, Shohei Ohtani, chose Model X as his first car. Good choice Ohtani.”

Tesla owner, Elon Musk, replied with a “heart” emoji on the same video. This incident dates back to July 2021, when Ohtani showed up for spring training for the Angels.

Is Ohtani alone enough for the Angels?

An individual might win a couple of games with their brilliance, but when it comes down to winning a tournament, it needs a balanced team. The same thing is happening with the LA Angels. 

In the name of Mike Trout and Shohei Ohtani, the Angels have a couple of brilliant payers, but the AL West side is still struggling to find a way to win the games. Just like the last season, the Angels are likely to go trophyless in the 2022 season.
