In just his sixth season in the major leagues, Angels two-way star Shohei Ohtani continues to amaze, quickly cementing himself among the greats to ever play the game.
In a lot of ways, it seems silly to anoint him as one of the best players ever this early in his career, but what he’s accomplished both at the plate and on the mound has been eye-opening.
Tuesday night was another reminder of just how special Ohtani is as a player. In the Angels’ 3–1 loss to the Astros, Ohtani pitched seven innings, giving up three earned runs on six hits while striking out seven.
