Shohei Ohtani wrapped up best week in baseball history against A's

It's been nearly 100 years since we've seen anyone come even close to doing what Shohei Ohtani has done already this season.

The 23-year-old Angels rookie from Japan has taken Major League Baseball by storm, with his bat and his arm.

On Sunday, Ohtani capped off arguably the greatest week in baseball history, carrying a perfect game into the seventh inning, and striking out 12 Oakland A's in seven scoreless frames to improve to 2-0 as a pitcher.

That performance followed a three-game stretch that saw Ohtani go 6-for-13 at the plate with three home runs and seven RBI.
