The Atlanta Braves will face off against one of the most special players to ever step foot on a field in Shohei Ohtani when they play host to the Anaheim Angels from Monday through Wednesday. This season, Ohtani has been on another level, performing as one of the best hitters (best outputs, second-best inputs) in baseball as well as an upper-echelon starting pitcher. He is a shoo-in for the AL MVP and is in line to receive the largest contract in baseball history this offseason.
The Angels are looking to make an all-in push for the playoffs in Ohtani’s final year before free agency.
