Angles two-star Shohei Ohtani gets struck out by an ELECTRICIAN from the Czech Republic during Japan’s 10-2 win at World Baseball Classic… as ex-American League MVP responds by offering his ‘Respect’ on Instagram

Los Angeles Angles and Japanese superstar Shohei Ohtani was struck out during the World Baseball classic by Czech Republic pitcher Ondrej Satoria, who happens to work as an electrician. 

Satoria is listed at 5-9 and 168 pounds, and his four-seam fastball topped out at 79 MPH during the game. Meanwhile Ohtani is considered to be the best two-way player in baseball while standing at over six feet tall and around 210 pounds.

Last season with the Angles, Ohtani hit for a .273 average, 34 homeruns, 11 steals and 95 RBIs. He also through for an ERA of 2.33, 219 strikeouts, and recorded a record of 15-9 as a starter.  

These stellar numbers as both a pitcher and a hitter netted Ohtani is second straight All-Star appearance, making it incredible that he was sent down on strikes by a pitcher who is not even employed as a professional baseball player.

Satoria finished the inning his evening after having given up three runs, five hits, and recording four strikeouts in his three innings of work.

On the other hand 21-year-old right-hander Roki Sasaki reached 100 mph 21 times in 66 pitches and Japan beat the Czech Republic 10-2 on Saturday night to clinch a quarterfinal berth in the World Baseball Classic.

Shugo Maki hit his second home run of the tournament and new Boston Red Sox outfielder Masataka Yoshida had three RBIs, including a go-ahead, two-run double in the third inning off loser Ondrej Satoria as the Samurai Warriors overcame a 1-0 deficit.

Ohtani went 1 for 3 with a walk before a crowd of 41,637 in the Tokyo Dome, leaving for a pinch hitter in the eighth inning. He is 5 for 10 with three doubles, four RBIs and five walks for Japan (3-0), which has one more group game and will host a quarterfinal on Wednesday or Thursday. He also has pitched four scoreless innings.

Sasaki struck out eight in 3 2/3 innings and got the win. He allowed an unearned run, two hits and two walks.

Sasaki threw the 16th perfect game in Japanese major league history in April, then pitched eight perfect innings in his next start before being pulled after 102 pitches.

 He went 9-2 with a 2.02 ERA for the Pacific League´s Chiba Lotte Marines last year, striking out 173 in 129 1/3 innings.
