Los Angeles Angels star Shohei Ohtani drilled his first ever grand slam on Monday against the Tampa Bay Rays.
Prior to tonight, Ohtani had never hit a grand slam during his time in MLB or the Nippon Professional Baseball league.
The Angels are off to a much better start in 2022 than in 2021. They lead the AL West with a 20-11 record after finishing last season at 77-85. Having a healthy Trout — who played just 36 games in 2021 after suffering a season-ending right calf strain on May 17 — definitely alters the dynamic of the lineup, and it helps to have Ohtani making these magical plays.
