The Major League Baseball season is not even a week old, yet we already have three videos that are sure to be among the highlight reels for the entire MLB season once 2022 comes to a close.
Here are three MLB videos that are must-sees from early in the season, including Shohei Ohtani of the Los Angeles Angels
Let’s begin with Los Angeles Angels starting pitcher/designated hitter Shohei Ohtani, who started the season with a 3-for-21 stretch at the plate (.143 batting average). Only one of those hits were for extra bases (a double) and five of the 21 at-bats have ended with a strikeout.
While those numbers might make fans shrug when talking about other players, when Ohtani is being discussed, he is seemingly held to a higher level coming off an AL MVP campaign where he slashed .257/.372/.592 with 46 home runs and an even 100 RBI.
Sure, it’s early in the season, but it’s clear that Ohtani is doing what he can to revive his bat. Ohtani’s brief CPR exercise on his lumber in the Angels dugout became an instant classic.

At least Ohtani is still keeping his spirits high while his statistics (at least for now) are low.
