Shohei Ohtani Is The Greatest Two-Way Player Anyone Has Ever Seen (Sorry, Babe)

No one in the major leagues hits the baseball harder than Shohei Ohtani. (It's quite possible, in fact, that no left-handed hitter in baseball history has hit the ball harder (that includes George Herman You-Know-Who)).

No one in the major leagues hits the ball farther, on a regular basis, than Ohtani.

Ohtani's fastball had been clocked at 101 mph and he throws one of the game's best splitters. He is striking out every third batter he faces on the mound – while also being on pace to hit 60 home runs.

Ohtani is one of the fastest baserunners in the game, as fast or faster than 92% of all players.
