Shohei Ohtani is the coolest/best baseball player in the world right now and it’s not even close.
What he’s doing this year at the plate (a league-high 40 homers) and on the mound (8-1 record) is historic and should earn him all of the awards.
Lately we’ve been seeing some pitchers in MLB throwing some nasty pitches that don’t seem real, like the ones the other night by the Dodgers’ Blake Trienen, who made baseballs look like wiffle balls.
Last night in Baltimore, Ohtani threw a couple pitches of his own that were absolutely filthy and left MLB fans in awe.

What can’t this guy do? (The Orioles won the game but Ohtani didn’t get the loss, so whatever.)
MLB fans loved it:
