SEATTLE (AP) — Shohei Ohtani was called for pitch clock violations on the mound and at the plate Wednesday, as the Los Angeles Angels’ two-way star made more major league history. Starting against the Seattle Mariners, Ohtani was hit with a violation in the top of the first inning while working against Cal Raleigh. Angels manager Phil Nevin said that his right-hander was not trying to violate the rule implemented this season by intentionally throwing a pitch before Raleigh was ready. Ohtani was flagged again in the top of the sixth before his at-bat against Mariners reliever Matt Brash.He became the first player to be called for violations as a pitcher and batter.
