Saying Shohei Ohtani is a generational talent is clichéd and, at this point, an understatement. The Japanese phenom is appointment viewing and the face of baseball. The sport has not seen a two-way player perform at quite this level before. It almost feels like every night he does something to take our breath away, and boy did that happen again tonight in the Angels’ 3-1 victory over the Detroit Tigers.
Ohtani is the type of player that transcends the age-old adage of “us versus them”. This is incredibly evident by the cheers Ohtani has gotten on the road.
