Shohei Ohtani is playing better than any baseball player ever has. The Angels' 27-year-old phenom has a long way to go before he enters all-time conversations, but nobody in the history of the game has ever been as good as he is right now. Ohtani leads MLB in power categories like home runs and slugging percentage, shows off his speed with 12 stolen bases... and he pitches! While striking out nearly 12 batters per 9 innings and sporting a splitter that's one of the most effective pitches in the league, Ohtani became the first player ever to be selected to the All-Star Game as both a position player and a pitcher. Baseball has never seen anything quite like Shohei Ohtani. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Follow SI on all social channels!
