The Japanese superstar put on another season for the record books (literally). He did so in the way he's always done throughout his career: without forgetting to play the game of baseball lightheartedly. In the penultimate game of the season, Ohtani's Angels matched up against the Oakland Athletics. The Angels lost to the Athletics in extra innings 2-1 but a memorable moment from the game saw Ohtani get hit by a pitch. During the third inning, Oakland starter Cole Irvin accidentally plunked Shohei Ohtani with a curve ball that hit his right arm. This should have been a cause for concern for the Angels' coaching staff as the two-way wonder was supposed to start the game on the bump the following day. Ohtani looked like he was in pain as he sat down for a few seconds before walking towards first base. Upon approaching first base, however, he jokingly mouthed off to Oakland Athletics first baseman Seth Brown the word "tomorrow." He was perhaps suggesting that he would take revenge after being hit by a pitch. This inevitably evoked multiple reactions from Angels fans, with one of them tweeting: "The greatest player and the nicest guy in @MLB" Another wrote: "How can u not root for this guy" Richard@Richardk1718@JomboyMedia The greatest player and the nicest guy in @MLB @MLBNetwork5@JomboyMedia The greatest player and the nicest guy in @MLB @MLBNetwork Hurtis Granderson@mrfr3shlyHow can u not root for this guy twitter.com/JomboyMedia/st…Jomboy Media@JomboyMediaShohei Ohtani says he's gonna get his revenge ?2201Shohei Ohtani says he's gonna get his revenge ? https://t.co/cBsI9ETYQrHow can u not root for this guy twitter.com/JomboyMedia/st… The Angels star then laughed it off with Brown after the first baseman was quoted as saying, "Don't do that to me, please." Shohei Ohtani stayed in the game but unfortunately went hitless in the contest. His reaction to getting plunked, meanwhile, drew admiration from Angels fans and neutrals alike as he embodied the lighter side of the game.

He's also an inspiration to the younger generation on how baseball players should behave. His lighthearted and kind approach to the game has resonated with a massive proportion of the general baseball audience. Shohei Ohtani makes history on the final day of the season Shohei Ohtani set another record on the final day of the 2022 season Death, taxes, and Shohei Ohtani breaking records: these are the only constant things in life. During the final game of the 2022 season against the Athletics, Ohtani set another record. After pitching a clean first inning, he became the first player in the World Series era of baseball to qualify both as a pitcher and hitter. The minimum requirement to be included in the charts is 162 innings pitched and 502 plate appearances. The two-way sensation's final count amounted to 166 total innings pitched and 666 plate appearances. Ohtani, the reigning MVP, finished his season with a 15-9 win-loss record with a 2.33 ERA on the mound, and a .273 average. He recorded 34 home runs and 95 RBIs at the plate.
