In terms of hitting, Shohei Ohtani also made history by batting third at Fenway Par. The last batting pitcher to start batting in the top four at Fenway Park was none other than Babe Ruth. In terms of how effective it was, Shohei had a couple of hits, a run, and one of the funniest moments in the game while batting.
One of his hits lowered his number ’17’ on the scoreboard. It was a fun moment that shows that everyone witnessed something special. Fans should buy tickets to see the Angels this season and wish they could see ‘Sho-Time.’
