Shohei Ohtani is Lost in Paradise
Shohei Ohtani is one of the highest-profile Japanese players to join Major League Baseball. He both hits and pitches, unheard of in the US game. He has been with the Los Angeles Angels since 2018, when he won Rookie of the Year. A succession of injuries and the COVID-shortened 2020 season have kept him out of the limelight in the past couple of years, but in his debut on April 4th, he gave up one earned run in 4 2/3 innings, struck out seven, and hit a 450-foot home run!

Who knows? Officially it's just because he's a big fan of the show.

Why the Babe Ruth comparisons are not entirely out of line.

Forget the Babe - the real comparisons are to Shigeno Goro, the two-way phenom from Japan who threw 102 and signed with Anaheim.
