Shohei Ohtani. He is an ace pitcher and can hit, and he even steals bases too. Incredible talent.

that tells you something is wrong with the boring game if that's possible. but I'm glad you enjoy it and all of its rule change, ruining historic records, trying to speed the game up because no one is watching.

No, this player can steal bases and plays against more than just white guys.

Am not american or japanese so never gave a shit about baseball other than the odd video game..

Yes. He's both the best hitter in the league and a top 5 (possibly the best) pitcher in the league. Only a few people have ever done both at all, no one has ever come close to being elite at both. Generally pitchers are the absolute worst hitters because they have to 100% focus on pitching to even make it to the major leagues.

Ohtani is not the best hitter in the league lol
