Shohei Ohtani is moving on up.
The Los Angeles Angels' two-way sensation is hitting second Tuesday night against the Houston Astros in Anaheim, the first time he's been in that spot in his career.
Ohtani will follow Mike Trout in the order when the Angels oppose Astros fire-baller Gerrit Cole. Trout has typically been hitting second for Los Angeles; he has hit leadoff just twice since 2014 (both in September last season). Ohtani, meanwhile, started the season hitting eighth before being moved up.
Ohtani has been a hit in his first major league season, leading the Angels in batting average (.
