Shohei Ohtani is back, baby. In this bad boy, we're talking about The Year of Ohtani aka 2021 Shohei Ohtani and his Shohei Ohtani MVP campaign. This transcendent season was highlighted by Shohei Ohtani hitting and Shohei Ohtani pitching, but we'll also discuss other things like Shohei Ohtani stealing bases. He's fast! The Shohei Ohtani Statcast numbers are astounding. That's definitely one of many 2021 Shohei Ohtani highlights
Ohtani is revitalizing a two-way tradition that many associate with Babe Ruth, but as we'll learn in this episode of Baseball Bits, a Foolish Baseball production, Bullet Rogan may be a better comparison. He's a Hall of Famer and iconic two-way player even though he didn't play in MLB.
Some fans might be upset that Ohtani plays for the Angels. True, the Shohei Ohtani Angels were below .500, but their poor record certainly wasn't a reflection of Ohtani's production. He was the best hitter and starting pitcher in high leverage.
So is it the greatest MLB season ever? In some ways, yes. In some ways, maybe not. But you'll have to watch until the end to see what I mean.
