As Shohei Ohtani maintains his MLB lead in home runs and leads all Angels starters in ERA, it is so easy to forget that he is also, somehow, one of the fastest players in the game.
Yes, the 6-foot-4, 210-pound Ohtani, whose array of skills is already unprecedented in modern MLB, is very fast. Fast enough that the Angels let him steal home on a double steal on Tuesday.
The steal is Ohtani's 21st of the season, the highest mark on the Angels by double digits. He is also the first Angel to steal home since Francisco Arcia in 2018, according to MLB.
