About
Shohei Ohtani is a Japanese professional baseball designated hitter and pitcher for the Los Angeles Dodgers of Major League Baseball (MLB). Nicknamed "Shotime", he has previously played in MLB for the Los Angeles Angels and in Nippon Professional Baseball (NPB) for the Hokkaido Nippon-Ham Fighters. Because of his contributions as a hitter and as a pitcher, a rarity as a two-way player, Ohtani's prime seasons have been considered amongst the greatest in baseball history, with some comparing them favorably to the early career of Babe Ruth.
Before Fame
Before entering professional baseball, Ohtani was a highly touted prospect. He was the first pick in the 2012 NPB draft by the Hokkaido Nippon-Ham Fighters, showcasing his potential from a young age.
Trivia
He is nicknamed 'Shotime'. Ohtani is the first player in MLB history to record 50 home runs and 50 stolen bases in a single season. He is the only player to win multiple MVP awards in both the American League and the National League. His 10-year, $700 million contract with the Dodgers was the largest in professional sports history at the time of signing.
