This was Shoei's 21st stolen base of the season and that leads a very good/athletic Angels roster. A few days ago he became the FIRST angel to hit 40 homeruns and steal 20 bases in a single season. Just yesterday he hit his 42nd homerun of the season. After today he pretty much has done it all this year. He even has 8 wins on the mound to add to his MVP campaign. At the MLB All-Star game Ohtani was interviewed by Hall of Fame pitcher Pedro Martinez. In that interview he was asked why he chosen to Hit and Pitch and he answered with this... "A coach in Japan told me to take a path that nobody ever has before", And here we are. Shoei is a special talent and we are honestly lucky to even be witnessing what he done. It's remarkable... A human highlight reel... He doesn't take anything for granted and loves the game of baseball for what it is and he cherishes it everyday. It's still been a tough year for LA though because they lost franchise player Mike Trout to injury and not long ago Anthony Rendon underwent season ending surgery. Mike Trout is overdue for a playoff run and if LA can keep their stars healthy next season they can contend. Joe Madden is a great coach and I have no doubt that he will upgrade this team and get them closer to contention. If they keep young star closer Raisel Iglesias around that's another big piece to their puzzle. Mike Trout has been waiting a long time to get to the playoffs, hopefully they don't keep Ohtani waiting...
Thanks for the read. Have a great day/night
