I'm not the biggest baseball fan around, but when someone is doing unprecedented things I take notice. Shohei Ohtani leads MLB in HR and SLG, he is one of the fastest men in the league, and he is 7-1 with a 2.93 ERA. This is the most gifted player that anyone alive has ever seen. Look at this guy's stuff on the mound...listen to that bat crack! Sucks that he won't be in the postseason.
robidoux said "This is the most gifted player that anyone alive has ever seen." given that many people are alive at 95 years old, that means pretty much every modern player has been seen by someone alive, including babe ruth. nobody but ruth even comes close in terms of combined value on the mound and at the plate. and ruth played against part time plumbers and carpenters. the competition now is incomprably better. roid prime bonds is the second best ever.
