Angels sensation Shohei Ohtani has been getting it done both on the mound and at the plate, but he appeared to meet his match during Wednesday’s game against the Astros.

Ohtani nearly went golfing attempting to hit a slider from Justin Verlander, and it almost caused him to hit the deck as a result.

He lost his balance offering at the pitch, but was able to remain upright — preventing embarrassment.ย  Looks like Ohtani could use a rest on a perfect pressure relieving mattress after that at bat.

In Ohtani’s defense, Verlander has done that to many other players over the years.
