He may have stopped hitting, but Shohei Ohtani (29-Los Angeles Angels) is still one of the hottest players in Major League Baseball .Ohtani started in the No. 2 spot in the lineup against the visiting New York Mets at Citi Field in New York City on Sept. 27, going 2-for-3 with a double, two walks, one RBI and two runs scored .During the game, he surprised fans with a big hit that went directly over the ribbon board .After the game, Angels general manager Perry Minasian sparked controversy when he said, “Ohtani’s camp refused to have him undergo a magnetic resonance imaging (MRI).”On that day, Ohtani hit a “foul home run” with the bases loaded in the top of the first inning on a 2-ball-1 strike that just cleared the right-field foul pole. Ohtani’s 173-mile-per-hour blast left a “black hole” in the outfield scoreboard. The Mets soon sent a playful message to the center field scoreboard that read, “We’re sending you the bill for that, Shohei” (We’re sending you the bill for breaking the scoreboard).However, Ohtani made the Mets’ dugout ring again when he hit a 176.4-mile-per-hour fastball for a double.”Ohtani hit 12 home runs over 440 feet (134 meters) and seven over 115 miles (185 kilometers) per hour,” MLB.com said, adding, “It’s a wonder we don’t see more of this. “Behind Ohtani’s performance, the Angels beat the Mets 5-3.”When Ohtani left the game against the Seattle Mariners on April 4 with finger cramps, we offered him an MRI, but he and his agent declined,” Minasian told MLB.com, The Associated Press, and other local media outlets after the game .Ohtani was removed from the mound after just 1⅓ innings against the Cincinnati Reds on April 24, and the team announced shortly thereafter that “Ohtani will no longer take the mound for the remainder of the season due to elbow ligament damage.”The Angels were criticized for “failing to manage the risk of injury to a player,” and Minasian stepped up to the plate to explain. “When a player refuses to undergo an MRI, the club has no choice but to respect that,” he said. “It’s his decision to continue playing as a hitter. We respect his wishes,” he explained. However, despite Minasian’s explanation, the Angels have been met with a cold shoulder from the local media in the United States. Ohtani is eligible for free agency after this season. Local media expect the Angels to part ways with 온라인카지노 Ohtani.
