There are some other names you could throw into the ring at this point, but it certainly feels like Shohei Ohtani is the best player in baseball. And he proved that once again on Tuesday night in the World Baseball Classic.
Ohtani gave us an absolute classic of an ending to the WBC by striking out his buddy and teammate, Mike Trout, who some would also argue is the best player in the world. Yet, still, he struck out swinging with Ohtani up at the plate for Japan.
