Shohei Ohtani made his stateside debut when the Angels took on the Brewers Saturday. In his first inning on the mound, the two-way player officially had something to add to his scrapbook: His first strikeout.
Brewers infielder Nate Orf swung and missed on a 2-2 pitch in the top of the first to give Ohtani his first strikeout of the spring:
The gorgeous splitter was the perfect pitch to start his day -- and career, with the Halos.
We are all in on the Japanese player who has given us plenty to look forward to -- and if you tuned in to the game in Tempe, Ariz., it appeared the crowd was too.
Ohtani's spring debut finished with 1 1/3 innings, striking out two with one walk and a home run allowed.
