Another day, another piece of baseball lore claimed by Shohei Ohtani.
When MLB announced pitchers and reserves for the All-Star Game on Sunday, Ohtani was named to the AL team as a pitcher. The Los Angeles Angels star was announced on Thursday as the AL's starting designated hitter. Sunday's news makes Ohtani the first player in the 91-year history of MLB's All-Star game to make a team as a hitter and a pitcher.
Ohtani's historic first half
The betting favorite to win AL MVP, Ohtani certainly earned the distinction at the plate and on the mound.
