When Mike Trout and Shohei Ohtani step to the plate on any given night, fans anticipate a show.
A single that finds its way into a gap, a long double or triple that looks as if it will go the distance, a home run that off the bat sounds like it’s gone. There’s no mistaking what the two are capable of doing.
It’s why each has multiple All-Star selections and at least one American League MVP award. (Trout has three, and Ohtani is in the running for a second consecutive honor this season.)
