The injuries were always pretty overblown. The knee surgery at the end of 2019 was to repair a birth defect. And it’s not really fair to say he hurt his arm again in 2020. He was basically making rehab starts at the big league level for his TJ, and had to get shut down for a bit. Happens a lot, but the season was too short for there to be any point at ramping him back up again.

Well done story of Ohtani. You say he became the first player to attend ASG as a pitcher and a Hitter. But in 2022, he did the same AND became the first Player in MLB history to qualify BOTH in ERA (as a SP) and as a hitter! Which just minority of MLB players qualify each season (2022: 5,7% as pitcher and 18,8% as a batter) Aaron Judge may had a historic season, how efficient would his offensive numbers be if he was SP even ONCE…? (Probably not be able to hit for few days…if Judge hit every week, the offensive numbers would be out of the window…thats how unique Shohei is…not comparable

Tbh i feel even if shohei is offered $500M contract, he may turn it down and take a lesser amount so that the team he joins can make a better roster with the paycut. Remember he took like a huge paycut just to play in the MLB earlier, if he waited until his contract with his NPBL team was over he could have asked for a $200M contract instead he asked to be posted early thus making his contract just above 3M.

How many more seasons of this kind of greatness would Shohei have to put up in order to be a first-ballot hall of famer? We literally haven’t seen anything like this since Ruth, and Ruth could only play against white guys with full time jobs who played baseball as a hobby. Can you tell the story of baseball without including Ohtani? I say if he does this for 4 more seasons (probably winning 3-4 more MVPs unless someone hits 70 homers) he’s a LOCK for the Hall.

I hope the Angels and Joe Maddon will be remembered as the team and the manager who helped Shohei establish himself in MLB.
It would’ve been easy for the Angels and Joe to try to convince Shohei to stick with his hitting after his first 3 seasons in MLB in which he underperformed as a pitcher, albeit injuries and a TJ surgery. I remember many people doubted – some even outright gave up on – Shohei’s future as a pitcher then. Thank god the Angels and Joe remained patient and kept their faith in Shohei. I highly doubt the outcome would’ve been the same if Shohei had signed with other teams, especially high-profile big market teams such as the Yankees, Mets, Red Sox, Astros, Dodgers, etc. whose fans can be relentlessly brutal in criticizing players who do not meet their expectations.

“Greatest” doesnt seem to mean much these days…lets wait until ohtani dominates wbc this year and takes mvp there before we start going down this path
