Los Angeles Dodgers star Shohei Ohtani went full NSFW against the Philadelphia Phillies on Wednesday night.
The Japanese star isn’t known for antics and is pretty reserved, but he seemed extra pleased with himself after stealing a base during the 4-3 loss and went viral for his celebration.
Ohtani appeared to mimic someone pleasuring themself after the action, taking a glove off and gesturing near his crotch.
Enough explaining. Check it out below:

Former MLB star Joe Canseco called the move “disgusting.”

“I apologize Shohei I was not familiar with your game,” a fan wrote in the comments.
“Anonymous bettor had 50k USD on ohtani stealing a base and jerking it after. What a strange coincidence,” another joked.
“Yall can have little Hawk Tuah girl…I got Ohtani!” said a third.
“What a few days in Philadelphia does to a man smh,” another offered.
Shohei Ohtani’s Actions May Have Been Wildly Misjudged
Another fan was willing to give the star pitcher the benefit of the doubt.
“I’ll give him the benefit of doubt and just say he was shaking the dirt of his glove.,” they remarked.
As it turns out, that was the case as a closer look shows Ohtani was removing some sand that got into his glove after he reached the base.
We would have to give him the benefit of the doubt, too, given that this is wildly out of character for Shohei Ohtani.
