Shohei Ohtani recently got accidentally kicked by his Dodgers teammate, Alex Call, and fans have left hilarious reactions online.
After the Dodgers secured a 9-5 victory over the Philadelphia Phillies at Citizens Bank Park on Wednesday, the team rushed to join the on-field handshake line. As Call leaped up and hopped over the dugout railing to join his teammates, he accidentally spiked Ohtani directly in the arm with his cleat.
The initial impact caused a brief scare for fans and staff, but Ohtani avoided any injury from the contact and was able to laugh it off. A video of the moment went viral online, with fans sharing hilarious reactions. One Reddit user wrote:
“That’s a billion dollar arm. Life flashed before his eyes.”

Shohei Ohtani has been sidelined from pitching due to persistent left knee inflammation and irritation. However, he has continued to play for the Dodgers as their full-time designated hitter.
What did Dave Roberts say about Shohei Ohtani throwing his first bullpen session since an injection into his left knee?
Shohei Ohtani threw a 30-pitch bullpen session on Wednesday, marking his first time throwing off a mound since receiving an Orthovisc injection in his irritated left knee.
After this match, the Los Angeles Dodger, Dave Roberts, discussed the importance of Ohtani throwing his first bullpen session following the injection.
“It’s a big sign because I think that you know the the grass, the flat ground, all that stuff is well and good. The arm’s fine. So it’s just more of going down the slope kind of throwing getting over your front side. That’s kind of the the big test. So usually the bullpens are right around 88 miles an hour, something like that. So we’ll see where he’s at. I just don’t know the effort today yet,” said Roberts.
“I do. I think anytime you’re trying to compromise, not compromise, you’re trying to change your delivery, compensate with the delivery, I think that kind of bleeds into just performance, you know, with the pitching certainly.”
