Some wonder why LA Angels‘ Ace Shohei Ohtani got the All-Star nod as both a hitter and pitcher, and he definitely deserved both.
We already know what Ohtani has been doing as a hitter. He’s on his own historic pace with the bat, but one of the questions circulating around the media is whether Ohtani should have received the All-Star selection as a pitcher or not. The answer to that question is yes.
While he’s not pitching like a Cy Young candidate, he’s still made plenty of quality starts that have no doubt helped the Angels.
