Ask yourself this question: how many players either today or throughout history can throw the ball at 100 mph, shutout a good team for 6 innings, and then hit a home run out of the stadium?

Answer: 1
But why should this single game performance by Ohtani be the measuring stick? I’m confused. Ohtani is a tremendous talent obviously that has been primarily a DH and unfortunately for all of us, has not been able to throw to the best of his ability consistently due to injury, either as a defender or a pitcher. Hes one of the greatest of the modern era for sure. But Game 4 of the 2025 NLCS isn’t why.
