Clayton Kershaw wasn't fazed by facing Japanese two-way star Shohei Ohtani for the first time Wednesday.
In fact, count the ace left-hander as among the few not feeling the hype for Ohtani after he chose to sign with the Los Angeles Angels instead of the Los Angeles Dodgers and others this offseason.
"I could care less now," Kershaw told reporters Wednesday when asked if he was excited to face Ohtani. "He didn't pick us. Good luck to him."
Ohtani served as the Angels' designated hitter in Wednesday's spring game in Tempe, Arizona, and he learned a lesson many other big leaguers have had to digest in the past -- how good Kershaw is.
