The fan who caught Mike Trout’s 400th HR received some signed bats and he had one more request.
To play catch with Trout.

Angels beat writer, SoCal News Group.
- Members of the Nats media determined that they had used 19 third baseman since Anthony Rendon left. So I looked this up. The Angels have used 28 third basemen since they signed Rendon.
- Shohei Ohtani has cleared out his locker in the #Angels clubhouse. The Angels say they will have no information on what has happened until tomorrow.
- So, on a suicide squeeze, if the hitter can get the ball on the ground in play, it's basically impossible for the defense to stop the run from scoring. Unless you do this.
00:00 - Shohei Ohtani's final stats .257/.372/.592, .965 OPS 46 HR 100 RBI 26 SB Pitching: 9-2, 3.18 ERA, 130.1 IP, 156 K
- Pretty crazy how MLB has run a 20-team tournament over two weeks on two sides of the globe and it comes down to the exact scenario everyone wanted before it started.
- Props to the Angel Stadium scoreboard crew. It is a Blue Jays home game.
- Shohei Ohtani’s interpreter Ippei Mizuhara had to resign because otherwise he couldn’t have talked to Ohtani during the lockout. He was a staff member. The #Angels rehired him.
- Shohei Ohtani got $150,000 for participating in the Home Run Derby. Here's what he did with the money. #Angels
- If you think 14 innings is long, that's like 19.58 innings in Canada.
- Phil Nevin is a genius. He gave Shohei Ohtani the "hit a double" sign and then told Mike Trout to "hit a two-run homer." The Angels are up 2-0 in the 1st.
- Shohei Ohtani, hitter: .999 OPS Shohei Ohtani, pitcher: 1.04 ERA
- By the way, Ohtani already knew that he had a torn UCL, potentially costing him hundreds of millions of dollars and changing the course of his career, when he had this exchange on the field with Elly De La Cruz.
