Ohtani is, once again, showing why he might be the most talented player Major League Baseball has ever seen. Ohtani's ability to both pitch and hit at an elite level in the MLB is something the league has never seen before. Although there have been players to do both in the MLB, no one has done it at the same time or as well as Ohtani. He is currently on pace to have another MVP caliber season, both on the mound and at the plate. Just one example of Shohei Ohtani's dominance this season is this statistic from Codify. According to them, "Shohei Ohtani is tied for 3rd in the American League in strikeouts as a pitcher and is 5th in the AL in home runs as a hitter." The fact that Ohtani can be in the top five for major stats both on the mound and at the plate is absolutely insane.

Although this is a great offensive season, this is actually, somewhat, down for Ohtani compared to his 2021 season.

Through 20 starts, he is 10-7 with just a 2.69 ERA, along with 165 strikeouts in just 117 innings pitched. These stats could possibly bring Ohtani his first Cy Young award this season.
