“I’m doing something unprecedented as a pitcher, winning games and hitting home runs.”
Legendary 303-win lefty Randy Johnson mentions Angels pitcher Shohei Ohtani. Regarding the two-way wrestler, who has won 13 major league titles this season, he praised him highly, saying, “He’s done the unthinkable. He’s done what even Babe Ruth couldn’t do.”
In the video released on the 20th (21st Japan time) on the Twitter of the US sports book maker “VSiN”, Mr. Johnson was astonished at the success of Otani, who has been active in pitching and hitting this season. In 1918, Babe Ruth (then Red Sox) reached double-digit wins and double-digit home runs for the first time in 104 years. He has become a slugger. Ohtani is playing two wields with five days off.He is doing something unprecedented as a pitcher, winning games and hitting home runs.”
Ohtani, who won the MVP last season and has been playing as well this season, is a famous pitcher who has won 303 wins in 618 games in 22 years and has won the Cy Young Award five times, which is the third highest in history. Even it has become a presence to be reckoned with.
