Los Angeles Angels two-way player Shohei Ohtani made his season debut as a pitcher Sunday night in a 7-4 victory over the Chicago White Sox, pitching two-hit ball into the fifth inning in a no-decision and homering in his first at-bat.
Ohtani both hit and pitched in a regular season game for the first time since moving to the majors during the 2017 offseason and the 26-year-old celebrated the occasion with a home run from the No. 2 spot in the order.
The last time Ohtani hit in the same game he pitched during the regular season was in October 2017, during his fifth and final season with the Hokkaido Nippon Ham Fighters.
