Speaking of athletes doing things at levels not seen before in the sport, if you’re a baseball fan, you could do a lot worse than adding a Shohei to your collection, regardless of who you support. Bringing effective pitching and batting to the table in the same season is something even Babe Ruth never did to the extent of Ohtani.

Rocky Balboa
