NEW YORK — With Shohei Ohtani now in his sixth major league season, everyone in baseball knows what he’s capable of, even if they don’t always believe their eyes.
Already an MVP, Rookie of the Year and two-time All-Star, the Angels’ two-way sensation has wowed audiences across the globe with his prowess at the plate and on the hill. This year alone, the lefty hitter owned a .298 average, 142 OPS+, three home runs and nine RBIs entering Tuesday’s series-opener against the Yankees. The right-hander won’t pitch in this series, but he also owns a 0.86 ERA and 27 strikeouts over 21 innings and four starts.
However, it’s another skill of Ohtani’s that impresses Aaron Boone the most.
