Angels' Shohei Ohtani Takes Clock Violations on Mound, at Plate vs. Mariners

Shohei Ohtani is no stranger to making history as a two-way superstar.

But he made some history he would surely like to forget during Wednesday's 4-3 win over the Seattle Mariners.

As ESPN noted, the Los Angeles Angels star became the first player in Major League Baseball to be given clock violations as both a pitcher and hitter. He was issued the violation as a pitcher in the top of the first inning for quick-pitching Cal Raleigh and as a hitter in the sixth inning before facing Matt Brash.

The second one came because he wasn't ready in the 30 seconds players are given to resume play between batters.
