Ohtani has RBI in Angels' 7-2 win for sweep at Texas

MVP and Rookie of the Year? Do like Ichiro did!

On previous day,, he learned 'pinch hitter' mentality.

There will be Kansas games. Until now, he was right hand pitching and right hand batting so his left arms are not used yet. Texas had excellent players. But when Trout ruses and write autograph forgetting he will have to bat, Angels have good luck. Angels places Trout to second in batting order now.

Royals is an excellent team. Just bad weather sometime. Outani was sliding Trout style.

AL West. Angels might have good luck this year but Astro and Mariners are still good competitor.

As someone who lives just a few kilometers from Angel Stadium, let me say that I find this Ohtani fellow to be almost unbelievable. It has been many decades since I saw anyone with his abilities. Don Drysdale comes to mind. And, of course, Babe Ruth started out as pitcher. However, I fear that using his talents every day might expose him unnecessarily to injury. It might be smarter to use him occasionally as a pinch hitter, rather than as a DH. The other teams, knowing that he is available as a dangerous pinch hitter, would be less inclined to walk batters that they otherwise would not want to pitch to. Either that, or just use him in the outfield every day.
