      I did but obviously it wasn't Ohtani lol. It was two guys who both started in the MLB. Alex White went #15 out of UNC and Lonnie Chisenhall went in the first round. Both were pitchers/infielders and GREAT HITTERS. Averaged 98+ with their fastball. Alex started for Indians and Rockies. Chisenhall played 3B for the guardians for a bunch of seasons. It's not easy hitting that kind of speed when they have great off speed and sliders. My best at bat was against a triple A pitcher from the Marlins I hit a bomb first bat of the season. Wood bat league where we were getting scouted just to find out coaches were embezzling lol. Anyways I would have loved to try to get a hit off Ohtani in high school..not now though since I'm 37 I know I wouldn't be able to keep up without practicing year round.

      For years I thought strictly of Bonds as a member of that SB/HR club(40/40). Now it’s 50/50 and it’s only Shohei. That’s pretty big time, EVEN THOUGH S.O. did it as a DH, which is HUGE but/if/yet/even though to give respect BACK to Bonds who was playing left(I believe) field for Pittsburgh.
