In this story:

Shohei Ohtani took the mound Tuesday night for the third time this season and once again showed everyone why he’s the coolest player in Major League Baseball. 

Ohtani had another laughably impressive night for the Angels, as he gave up just one hit and struck out six in seven innings and improved to 2–0 on the season with a 2–0 victory over the Nationals. He also had a hit in four at-bats.

One of his strikeouts came on a beautiful 75-mph curveball that fell off the planet and had Washington catcher Keibert Ruiz walking back to the dugout after swinging and missing on a pitch that he never had a chance of hitting.

Check this out: 

Goodness. 

MLB fans rightfully loved it:
