Shohei Ohtani is one of the best pitchers in baseball. The Japanese hitter and outfielder play for the Los Angeles Angels of Major League Baseball. The pitcher leads his side to an emphatic win against the USA to win the World Baseball Classic for a third time. Ohtani clinched the win by striking out the US captain and his Los Angeles Angels’ teammate Mike Trout.

Being quite an influential player on the pitch, Ohtani has enjoyed a stellar career in baseball so far. The player even won the 2022 Edgar Martinez Outstanding Designated Hitter Award recently. However, it seems, besides displaying sheer class in his main sport, Ohtani is quite an expert in other fortes as well.

Not an impressive start to the campaign

Coming to the MLS, LA Galaxy recently kicked off their new domestic campaign. They have played three matches so far and are yet to win any game. Greg Vanney’s side lost the opening match against FC Dallas as they were thrashed 3-1 by them.

The following two matches against Sporting KC and Vancouver were also a stalemate. The match against Vancouver could have gone out of their hand. However, Kelvin Leedrama’s strike before halftime helped them clinch a point.

They are currently sitting in 12th place with just 2 points in their hands. It is indeed a poor start to the new campaign. Nevertheless, they’ll be looking to turn things around very soon.
