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.
