Los Angeles Dodgers star Shohei Ohtani was caught in a rundown but then made one of the coolest plays of the MLB season to get out of it during Monday's win over the Mariners.
During the Dodgers' 3-0 win over the Seattle Mariners at Dodger Stadium on Monday night, Ohtani found himself in a bit of a pickle after reaching first base on a single in the bottom of the first inning.

But Ohtani managed to get out of the rundown and slid safely back into first base after outrunning the ball and evading the tag by Mariners first baseman Justin Turner.had no way out of the rundown, but the Mariners gave him a bit of an opening and, like the great ones do, he seized his chance. The Dodgers slugger finished the game 1-for-3 with a walk.Tim Capurso is a staff writer on the Breaking and Trending News team at Sports Illustrated.
