Letter to the sport: Shohei Ohtani reaches another level of greatness

Shohei Ohtani became just the sixth player in baseball history to reach 40 runs and 40 stolen bases in a season earlier this summer. Now Ohtani has organized a 50-50 club. One major difference: Ohtani will be the only member in history!

Just when you think you’ve seen it all, Shahi Ohtani surprises us all! There’s still time until the season for Ohtani to achieve his fantastic feats. His pre-match preparation proves that scoring goals is no fluke.

And all this time I thought Roy Hobbs was a natural.

Shohei Ohtani had the biggest game of my career (6-for-6, three homers, two doubles, two steals, and 10 RBIs). Period. Plain and simple. Incredibly, if he had slid under the tag at third base (and ended the game with a run), it probably would have been the greatest play in any sport of all time. That said, his accomplishments mean nothing if the Dodgers don’t win the World Series. Since this will be his first season in MLB, he has a chance to put an end to what could go down as the greatest season of all time.

With the Dodgers’ pitching staff seemingly experiencing at least one failure per week, the prospect of Shohei Ohtani pitching in the postseason becomes even more appealing. Assuming the Dodgers don’t field Ohtani unless he’s medically cleared, Ohtani hitting Aaron Judge in the World Series might be even more interesting than Bob Welch hitting Reggie Jackson in Game 2 of the 1978 Fall Classic.
