Shohei Ohtani is unreal!

Cover athlete for next year.

I'm not an Angels fan...In fact, I am a proud NL homer and AL pitchers can go get their pedicures done so they don't mess them up hitting....with that said even though he is AL. I still respect his game big time. As someone stated above, he isn't the best pitcher we have seen, he isn't the best hitter we have ever seen. He might just be the best combo player we have ever seen though. I don't agree that he is the best baseball player though. I think he will go down top 100 ever and might even crack top 25.

I agree, it will come down to his longevity. If he only does this for a few more years, then he is a... Remember that Ohtani guy 10 years ago?

I'm a little over the hype and constant "OMG he's the best ever hyperbole". He's been pretty pedestrian in the second half. He's got a 7.8 BRef WAR but that's due to his pitching. He's basically been CJ Cron since the AS game. He's having a great season and he'll probably be the MVP but there's clearly been much better seasons in the history of the game. You wouldn't know that if you were born yesterday and only ever heard of Ohtani.
You're tripping dude. Nobody as done what Ohtani has done. I don't want to hear about Babe Ruth and a league with no black players or latinos.
Do you think Babe could make a MLB roster today? I don't think so. Not with that dickey-do of his.
-
I mean Ruth played in a different era yes but he was good regardless of era.
But tbh Shohei is probably one of my 2 favorites in the league besides Vlad(because I'm Canadian and love the Jays) and Shohei is my other favorite because he can hit and pitch which isn't normal for a pitcher usually.

Let's all agree Bo Jackson was the best athlete in baseball history.

Disagree. I’d go with either Bartolo, Prince, or Dmitri Young.

No.
I personally don't care about the "best" athlete, so many guys are so athletic and skilled at so many things.

I'm a Prime Time guy. Bo was a beast for sure, but Deion has my heart.
We need a 1992 Deion Sanders Card

He led the league in triples and played less than 100 games due to leaving for football season. Also hit just over .300.

Quite possibly one of the most talented players ever. Would love to see a healthy angels team with some more quality arms
Agreed

I am not an Angels fan fwiw.
Angels have wasted Trout's prime years and they will like waste Ohtani's
