Everyone seems to be a fan of Shohei Ohtani, and for a good reason—he’s one of the most exciting players right now.
Although an injury might prevent Ohtani from pitching for the rest of the season, he’s still playing in games as a hitter for the Angels. That’s pretty amazing.
And it’s not just fans and players who admire him. The Phillie Phanatic, the famous mascot, shared a fun moment with Ohtani during the game where the Angels faced off against the Phillies.
Here’s a glimpse of their interaction:
