Shohei Ohtani: Did Tuesday’s win earn Ace a new personal catcher?

Shohei Ohtani has been lights out on the mound this year, but he’s been throwing to the same guy.

After a rough outing last week vs. the New York Yankees, LA Angels Manager Joe Maddon decided to change things up a little bit and have Ohtani not throw to the catcher who he typically throws to.

Maddon had Ohtani throw to Max Stassi on Tuesday night instead of Kurt Suzuki.

Shohei Ohtani pitched a gem after the catching change for the LA Angels.
