Debating baseball is almost as much fun as playing baseball, but there's one point that's beyond all discussion: Shohei Otani is the best player in the world right now, and it's not even close. Which makes it appropriate that Otani will become the first Major League Baseball player to be added to Fortnite's Icon Series.
The Icon Series is a collection of Fortnite skins and cosmetics largely inspired by real-world stars. It began with Ninja in 2020 and has expanded over the years to include names like Travis Scott, Lewis Hamilton, Bugha, Mr Beast, Lebron James, Patrick Mahomes, Giannis Antetokounmpo, and all sorts of others. But no baseball players, which is kind of weird given the number of other pro athletes represented in the collection. Maybe baseball isn't hip with the kids like Formula 1?
