Shohei Ohtani clubbed his first career MLB home run with a 3-run shot to right field against the Cleveland Indians on Tuesday night. The two-way phenom was treated by his Los Angeles Angels teammates just like anyone else following a first career home run. That’s right, Ohtani got the silent treatment.
Ohtani seemed confused at first by the silent treatment upon entering the dugout, but then he played along and gave some fake high-fives. Then he disturbed it all by grabbing a teammate to hug.
Not sure what's a better…Ohtani's FIRST CAREER HOME RUN or the celebration! One word: Amazing.#ShoTime @Angels @MLB @MLBONFOX pic.twitter.com/UsPcCZnIOn

The scene was awesome. That was Ohtani’s first career at-bat in front of the home fans in Anaheim, and it couldn’t have gone better. He really appears to be putting the rough spring training behind him — quickly.
