When watching two-way superstar Shohei Ohtani play baseball, one is often left to marvel and wonder if the person they just witnessed is human or superhuman. Even Ohtani's own manager, Dave Roberts, after watching the superstar slugger belt a home run in front of his native country in the club's 6-2 win over the Chicago Cubs, had to remind himself out loud that Ohtani still does mundane tasks just like all other humans.
"I know Shohei puts his pants on just like we all do—one leg at a time," Roberts said while speaking to reporters Wednesday. "But if there's ever a superhero, I think Shohei just seems like a superhero. And in the biggest of games and the biggest of moments, he seems to always deliver."
