If Shohei Ohtani didn’t know he was big-time yet, he absolutely knows now.
During Sunday’s game, the best hitter in baseball was intentionally walked. Usually, the home crowd supports its team through its decisions on the field. In this case, Ohtani is so universally loved and respected that the crowd was very unhappy that they weren’t able to see him swing the bat.
Twins fans are booing their own team for intentionally walking Shohei Ohtani in a spot where they absolutely should walk Shohei Ohtani.
