He took a step towards second, and that step towards second was perfectly framed by the foul line. He got fucked by his own first base coach, not the Ump.

My boy Turner with another grand slam. So going to miss him when he retires. Old man Pojuls hits 2 home runs.

I'm really curious what Ohtani's advanced numbers (fWAR etc) would look like if he was playing an outfield position instead of DH'ing. With his athleticism and arm I'd be surprised if he wasn't at least a solid outfielder or "below-average" which would make his WAR as a hitter look even better.
I'm curious if he'll eventually be used as a LF and be a super bullpen arm. Crazy his talent level.
Ps. That Mickey Mantle card is what $6+ million looks like.
Edit: I lied that Mantle card is probably worth WAY more than $10+ mm now. They were estimating $10mm for a PSA 10 Mantle, 3 years ago. The market has absolutely exploded since then.

Before we get in trouble.
He may have been drafted by the Rangers, he won't break with them. He will get traded away long before he does.

Disappointed at Ohtani's performance, but like
Blitz
posted, his pitcher was lame. I heard that they had not worked together since the Spring, so coordination was not there.
Soto also had the huge advantage of the long rest, so that plus his skill just carried him through. Will say that 3-3 on the final round was pretty damn impressive. At that point, you could tell Ohtani was just spent.
Best part was the commentators full on ignoring Sal Perez's at bat with Alonso at their table.

All Arms: Angels select 20 pitchers in 20 rounds
The Los Angeles Angels made unique draft history this week, using all 20 selections to take pitchers, after deciding to "just go all out and play the hot hand."

I wonder what Pujol's career average/ops would be if he just had average/normal speed. It is crazy how many doubles he turned into outs.

It wouldn't affect the average. Those all counted as singles and out on advance to second.
