Hazing of rookies may not be quite as ruthless as it once was in the world of professional sports, but the Los Angeles Angels showed us over the weekend that you can still come up with plenty of friendly ways to embarrass the less experienced guys in the clubhouse.

And no player is exempt. In order to pay his dues, Shohei Ohtani was forced to stand up on the team bus and sing the hit song “Despacito” in front of his teammates. Enjoy:

Angels manager Mike Scioscia has already shown a bit of a generational gap with Ohtani this season, so we’d love to know what he thought of the Japanese phenom’s rendition. Personally, we think Ohtani crushed it.
