On Tuesday, the Los Angeles Angels of Anaheim made a surprising move when they had Shohei Ohtani’s locker packed up at Angel Stadium. It is unclear why the team made this decision, as they have not released any information about the situation.
Shohei Ohtani is a two-way player for the Angels, meaning he both pitches and hits. He was the first player in Major League Baseball to do this since Babe Ruth in 1919. He has been a key part of the Angels’ success this season, as he has a 4-2 record with a 3.10 ERA and is batting .290 with nine home runs and 29 RBIs.
The Angels have not commented on why Ohtani’s locker was packed up, but some speculate that it could be related to his recent struggles on the mound. Ohtani has allowed at least four runs in each of his last three starts, and his ERA has risen from 2.37 to 3.10 in that span.
It is possible that the Angels are giving Ohtani some time off to rest and work on his mechanics. He could also be dealing with an injury, though the team has not released any information about that either.
Whatever the reason for the move, it is clear that the Angels are taking the situation seriously. They have not released any information about it yet, but it is likely that they will make an announcement soon. Until then, all we can do is wait and see what happens next with Shohei Ohtani and the Angels.
